Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.

The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:

- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}

The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).

For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").

This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca339

 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.

Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

The BLE is the pre-TF-A boot stage required by Marvell Armada
BootROM for bringing up DRAM and allow the boot image copy to it.
Since this is not a standard boot level and only uses the TF-A
as a build environment, it was introduced out of source tree.
However it turns out that such remote location introduces additional
complexity to the upstream TF-A build process.
In order to simplify the build environment the BLE source folder
is relocated from the external repository to A8K platform directory.
The build documentation is updated accordingly.
