Make the memory layout more flexible
Currently the platform code gets to define the base address of each boot loader image. However, the linker scripts couteract this flexibility by enforcing a fixed overall layout of the different images. For example, they require that the BL3-1 image sits below the BL2 image. Choosing BL3-1 and BL2 base addresses in such a way that it violates this constraint makes the build fail at link-time. This patch requires the platform code to now define a limit address for each image. The linker scripts check that the image fits within these bounds so they don't rely anymore on the position of a given image in regard to the others.
