Expose the timer registers that are accessible at EL0 per the
architecture to the SPM payload running in secure EL0. Note
that this requires NS_TIMER_SWITCH to be enable for all users
of this code.

Rename files prefixed by sp_ to spm_.

The current SPM is a prototype that only supports one secure partition
in EL0. The objective of SPM is to have multiple partitions. The current
MM interface isn't adequate for this, so it is needed to modify heavily
the code to add proper support for it.

However, there are platforms which are already using this (like SGI) and
removing the code would break it.  For this reason, the current SPM code
has been duplicated in order to temporarily preserve compatibility. All
new improvements/changes to SPM will be done in the non-deprecated copy,
that may change without notice.

The new build option SPM_DEPRECATED has been introduced to select the SPM
implementation. It defaults to 1, that selects the deprecated SPM.

This is done in order to make it easier to read the file spm_main.c.

Move all information related to a Secure Partition to the struct
secure_partition_context_t.

This requires an in-depth refactor because most of the previous code of
SPM relied on global information.

A Secure Partition is a software execution environment instantiated in
S-EL0 that can be used to implement simple management and security
services. Since S-EL0 is an unprivileged exception level, a Secure
Partition relies on privileged firmware e.g. ARM Trusted Firmware to be
granted access to system and processor resources. Essentially, it is a
software sandbox that runs under the control of privileged software in
the Secure World and accesses the following system resources:

- Memory and device regions in the system address map.
- PE system registers.
- A range of asynchronous exceptions e.g. interrupts.
- A range of synchronous exceptions e.g. SMC function identifiers.

A Secure Partition enables privileged firmware to implement only the
absolutely essential secure services in EL3 and instantiate the rest in
a partition. Since the partition executes in S-EL0, its implementation
cannot be overly complex.

The component in ARM Trusted Firmware responsible for managing a Secure
Partition is called the Secure Partition Manager (SPM). The SPM is
responsible for the following:

- Validating and allocating resources requested by a Secure Partition.
- Implementing a well defined interface that is used for initialising a
  Secure Partition.
- Implementing a well defined interface that is used by the normal world
  and other secure services for accessing the services exported by a
  Secure Partition.
- Implementing a well defined interface that is used by a Secure
  Partition to fulfil service requests.
- Instantiating the software execution environment required by a Secure
  Partition to fulfil a service request.
