Allow to handle cases where some images are pre-loaded (by debugger for
instance) without introducing many switches in files calling load_* functions.

Patch 7e26fe1f deprecates IO specific return definitions in favour
of standard errno codes. This patch removes those definitions
and its usage from the IO framework, IO drivers and IO platform
layer. Following this patch, standard errno codes must be used
when checking the return value of an IO function.

This patch redefines the values of IO_FAIL, IO_NOT_SUPPORTED and
IO_RESOURCES_EXHAUSTED to match the corresponding definitions in
errno.h:

    #define IO_FAIL                     (-ENOENT)
    #define IO_NOT_SUPPORTED            (-ENODEV)
    #define IO_RESOURCES_EXHAUSTED      (-ENOMEM)

NOTE: please note that the IO_FAIL, IO_NOT_SUPPORTED and
IO_RESOURCES_EXHAUSTED definitions are considered deprecated
and their usage should be avoided. Callers should rely on errno.h
definitions when checking the return values of IO functions.

The Trusted firmware code identifies BL images by name. The platform
port defines a name for each image e.g. the IO framework uses this
mechanism in the platform function plat_get_image_source(). For
a given image name, it returns the handle to the image file which
involves comparing images names. In addition, if the image is
packaged in a FIP, a name comparison is required to find the UUID
for the image. This method is not optimal.

This patch changes the interface between the generic and platform
code with regard to identifying images. The platform port must now
allocate a unique number (ID) for every image. The generic code will
use the image ID instead of the name to access its attributes.

As a result, the plat_get_image_source() function now takes an image
ID as an input parameter. The organisation of data structures within
the IO framework has been rationalised to use an image ID as an index
into an array which contains attributes of the image such as UUID and
name. This prevents the name comparisons.

A new type 'io_uuid_spec_t' has been introduced in the IO framework
to specify images identified by UUID (i.e. when the image is contained
in a FIP file). There is no longer need to maintain a look-up table
[iname_name --> uuid] in the io_fip driver code.

Because image names are no longer mandatory in the platform port, the
debug messages in the generic code will show the image identifier
instead of the file name. The platforms that support semihosting to
load images (i.e. FVP) must provide the file names as definitions
private to the platform.

The ARM platform ports and documentation have been updated accordingly.
All ARM platforms reuse the image IDs defined in the platform common
code. These IDs will be used to access other attributes of an image in
subsequent patches.

IMPORTANT: applying this patch breaks compatibility for platforms that
use TF BL1 or BL2 images or the image loading code. The platform port
must be updated to match the new interface.

Move the remaining IO storage source file (io_storage.c) from the
lib to the drivers directory. This requires that platform ports
explicitly add this file to the list of source files.

Also move the IO header files to a new sub-directory, include/io.
