The project has been renamed from "Arm Trusted Firmware (ATF)" to
"Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A)" long ago. A few references to the old
project name that still remained in various places have now been
removed.

This change doesn't affect any platform files. Any "ATF" references
inside platform files, still remain.

The documentation contains plenty of notes and warnings. Enable
special rendering of these blocks by converting the note prefix
into a .. note:: annotation.

One of the current issues with the documentation is that terms and
abbreviations are frequently redefined. For example, we might have
a sentence like "... the SCP (System Control Processor) will ...".

These definitions might be repeated several times across pages, or
even within the same document. Equally, some of these abbreviations
are missed and are never expanded.

Sphinx provides a :term: keyword that takes some text and,
if that text is defined in a glossary document, links to its glossary
entry. Using this functionality will prevent repeated definitions
and will make the docs more maintainable by using a single
definition source.

The glossary added in this patch was created from a quick scrub of
the source code - there may be missing entries. The SDEI abbreviation
was used as an example.

Note that a global_substitutions file was created. This file contains
the RST 'replace' statements that convert plain text terms into linked
terms (by adding the ':term:' keyword to them). An example is:

.. |TF-A| replace:: :term:`TF-A`

The 'rst_prolog' variable in conf.py is used to inject this list of
replacements into each page. Terms must be surrounded with the pipe
character to be turned into links - this means that we can still
prevent certain terms from being linked if we don't want them to be.

These are no longer needed as there will always be a table of contents
rendered to the left of every page.

Some of these lists can be quite long and, when opening a page, the
reader sees nothing but a huge list of contents! After this patch,
the document contents are front-and-centre and the contents are
nicely rendered in the sidebar without duplication.

This patch attempts to standardise the document titles as well as
adding titles to documents that were missing one. The aim is to
remove needless references to "TF-A" or "Trusted Firmware" in the
title of every document and to make sure that the title matches
with the document content.

This change creates the following directories under docs/
in order to provide a grouping for the content:

- components
- design
- getting_started
- perf
- process

In each of these directories an index.rst file is created
and this serves as an index / landing page for each of the
groups when the pages are compiled. Proper layout of the
top-level table of contents relies on this directory/index
structure.

Without this patch it is possible to build the documents
correctly with Sphinx but the output looks messy because
there is no overall hierarchy.

The change-log.rst file does not use the same symbols
as the other documents when organising its headings,
sub-headings and so on. In order to compile these
documents together with Sphinx, forming a top-level
index and a consistent structure, it is necessary to
normalise these.

that they are in draft form and are expected to change.

Using Sphinx linkcheck on the TF-A docs revealed some broken
or permanently-redirected links. These have been updated where
possible.

Update Arm Trusted Firmware references in the upstream documents to
Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A). This is for consistency with and
disambiguation from Trusted Firmware-M (TF-M).

Also update other Arm trademarks, e.g. ARM->Arm, ARMv8->Armv8-A.

With the migration to .rst from .md, the Issues Resolved and

This patch changes to using Header 2 for these sections.

Due to recent issues in the rendering of the documentation on GitHub and
some long-standing issues like the lack of automatic table of content in
Markdown, the documentation has been converted to reStructuredText.
Basic constructs looks pretty similar to Markdown.

Automatically convert GitHub markdown documentation to reStructuredText
using pandoc.
