The Generic Timer is an optional extension to an ARMv7-A implementation.
The generic delay timer can be used from any architecture supported by
the Trusted Firmware. In ARMv7 it is needed to check that this feature
is present. In ARMv8 it is always present.

ARMv8.2-TTCNP is mandatory from ARMv8.2 onwards, but it can be implemented
in CPUs that don't implement all mandatory 8.2 features (and so have to
claim to be a lower version).

This patch removes usage of the ARM_ARCH_AT_LEAST() macro and uses system
ID registers to detect whether it is needed to set the bit or not.

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 architecture dependant header files in include/lib/${ARCH} and
include/common/${ARCH} have been moved to /include/arch/${ARCH}.
