This patch reworks the handover interface from: BL1 to BL2 and
BL2 to BL3-1. It removes the raise_el(), change_el(), drop_el()
and run_image() functions as they catered for code paths that were
never exercised.
BL1 calls bl1_run_bl2() to jump into BL2 instead of doing the same
by calling run_image(). Similarly, BL2 issues the SMC to transfer
execution to BL3-1 through BL1 directly. Only x0 and x1 are used
to pass arguments to BL31. These arguments and parameters for
running BL3-1 are passed through a reference to a
'el_change_info_t' structure. They were being passed value in
general purpose registers earlier.

This patch introduces macros (SPSR_64 and SPSR_32) to
create a SPSR for both aarch32 and aarch64 execution
states. These macros allow the user to set fields
in the SPSR depending upon its format.
The make_spsr() function which did not allow
manipulation of all the fields in the aarch32 SPSR
has been replaced by these new macros.

This patch implements the register reporting when unhandled exceptions are
taken in BL3-1. Unhandled exceptions will result in a dump of registers
to the console, before halting execution by that CPU. The Crash Stack,
previously called the Exception Stack, is used for this activity.
This stack is used to preserve the CPU context and runtime stack
contents for debugging and analysis.

This also introduces the per_cpu_ptr_cache, referenced by tpidr_el3,
to provide easy access to some of BL3-1 per-cpu data structures.
Initially, this is used to provide a pointer to the Crash stack.

panic() now prints the the error file and line number in Debug mode
and prints the PC value in release mode.

The Exception Stack is renamed to Crash Stack with this patch.
The original intention of exception stack is no longer valid
since we intend to support several valid exceptions like IRQ
and FIQ in the trusted firmware context. This stack is now
utilized for dumping and reporting the system state when a
crash happens and hence the rename.

The data cache clean and invalidate operations dcsw_op_all()
and dcsw_op_loius() were implemented to invoke a DSB and ISB
barrier for every set/way operation. This adds a substantial
performance penalty to an already expensive operation.

These functions have been reworked to provide an optimised
implementation derived from the code in section D3.4 of the
ARMv8 ARM. The helper macro setup_dcsw_op_args has been moved
and reworked alongside the implementation.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#146

Instead of using the system register helper functions to read
or write system registers, assembler coded functions should
use MRS/MSR instructions. This results in faster and more
compact code.

This change replaces all usage of the helper functions with
direct register accesses.

Reduce the number of header files included from other header
files as much as possible without splitting the files. Use forward
declarations where possible. This allows removal of some unnecessary
"#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__" statements.

Also, review the .c and .S files for which header files really need
including and reorder the #include statements alphabetically.

Add tag names to all unnamed structs in header files. This
allows forward declaration of structs, which is necessary to
reduce header file nesting (to be implemented in a subsequent
commit).

Also change the typedef names across the codebase to use the _t
suffix to be more conformant with the Linux coding style. The
coding style actually prefers us not to use typedefs at all but
this is considered a step too far for Trusted Firmware.

Also change the IO framework structs defintions to use typedef'd
structs to be consistent with the rest of the codebase.

Separate out the CASSERT macro out of bl_common.h into its own
header to allow more efficient header inclusion.

Move almost all system include files to a logical sub-directory
under ./include. The only remaining system include directories
not under ./include are specific to the platform. Move the
corresponding source files to match the include directory
structure.

Also remove pm.h as it is no longer used.
