At present, the entry point for each BL image is specified via the
Makefiles and provided on the command line to the linker. When using a
link script the entry point should rather be specified via the ENTRY()
directive in the link script.

This patch updates linker scripts of all BL images to specify the entry
point using the ENTRY() directive. It also removes the --entry flag
passed to the linker through Makefile.

Fixes issue ARM-software/tf-issues#66

This patch adds a simple TSP as the BL3-2 image. The secure payload
executes in S-EL1. It paves the way for the addition of the TSP
dispatcher runtime service to BL3-1. The TSP and the dispatcher service
will serve as an example of the runtime firmware's ability to toggle
execution between the non-secure and secure states in response to SMC
request from the non-secure state.  The TSP will be replaced by a
Trusted OS in a real system.

The TSP also exports a set of handlers which should be called in
response to a PSCI power management event e.g a cpu being suspended or
turned off. For now it runs out of Secure DRAM on the ARM FVP port and
will be moved to Secure SRAM later. The default translation table setup
code assumes that the caller is executing out of secure SRAM. Hence the
TSP exports its own translation table setup function.

The TSP only services Fast SMCs, is non-reentrant and non-interruptible.
It does arithmetic operations on two sets of four operands, one set
supplied by the non-secure client, and the other supplied by the TSP
dispatcher in EL3. It returns the result according to the Secure Monitor
Calling convention standard.

This TSP has two functional entry points:

- An initial, one-time entry point through which the TSP is initialized
  and prepares for receiving further requests from secure
  monitor/dispatcher

- A fast SMC service entry point through which the TSP dispatcher
  requests secure services on behalf of the non-secure client

This patch factors out the ARM FVP specific code to create MMU
translation tables so that it is possible for a boot loader stage to
create a different set of tables instead of using the default ones.
The default translation tables are created with the assumption that
the calling boot loader stage executes out of secure SRAM. This might
not be true for the BL3_2 stage in the future.

A boot loader stage can define the `fill_xlation_tables()` function as
per its requirements. It returns a reference to the level 1
translation table which is used by the common platform code to setup
the TTBR_EL3.

This patch is a temporary solution before a larger rework of
translation table creation logic is introduced.

This patch ensures that VBAR_EL3 points to the simple stack-less
'early_exceptions' when the C runtime stack is not correctly setup to
use the more complex 'runtime_exceptions'. It is initialised to
'runtime_exceptions' once this is done.

This patch also moves all exception vectors into a '.vectors' section
and modifies linker scripts to place all such sections together. This
will minimize space wastage from alignment restrictions.

This patch moves the translation tables into their own section. This
saves space that would otherwise have been lost in padding due to page
table alignment constraints. The BL31 and BL32 bases have been
consequently adjusted.

  - Check at link-time that bootloader images will fit in memory
    at run time and that they won't overlap each other.
  - Remove text and rodata orphan sections.
  - Define new linker symbols to remove the need for platform setup
    code to know the order of sections.
  - Reduce the size of the raw binary images by cutting some sections
    out of the disk image and allocating them at load time, whenever
    possible.
  - Rework alignment constraints on sections.
  - Remove unused linker symbols.
  - Homogenize linker symbols names across all BLs.
  - Add some comments in the linker scripts.
