This change is part of the goal of enabling the port to be compatible
with multiple FPGA images.

BL31 behaves differently depending on whether or not the CPUs in the
system use cache coherency, and as a result any CPU libraries that are
compiled together must serve processors that are consistent in this
regard.

This compiles a different set of CPU libraries depending on whether or
not the HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY is enabled at build-time to indicate the
CPUs support hardware-level support for cache coherency. This build
flag is used in the makefile in the same way as the Arm FVP port.

This change is part of the goal of enabling the port to be compatible
with multiple FPGA images.

The BL31 port that is uploaded as a payload to the FPGA with an image
should cater for a wide variety of system configurations. This patch
makes the necessary changes to enable it to function with images whose
cluster configurations may be larger (either by utilizing more
clusters, more CPUs per cluster, more threads in each CPU, or a
combination) than the initial image being used for testing.

As part of this, the hard-coded values that configure the size of the
array describing the topology of the power domain tree are increased
to max. 8 clusters, max. 8 cores per cluster & max 4 threads per core.
This ensures the port works with cluster configurations up to these
sizes. When there are too many entries for the number of available PEs,
e.g. if there is a variable number of CPUs between clusters, then there
will be empty entries in the array. This is permitted and the PSCI
library will still function as expected. While this increases its size,
this shouldn't be an issue in the context of the size of BL31, and is
worth the trade-off for the extra compatibility.

This initializes the GIC using the Arm GIC drivers in TF-A.
The initial FPGA image uses a GIC600 implementation, and so that its
power controller is enabled, this platform port calls the corresponding
implementation-specific routines.

This adds the minimal functions and definitions to create a basic
BL31 port for an initial FPGA image, in order for the port to be
uploaded to one the FPGA boards operated by an internal group within
Arm, such that BL31 runs as a payload for an image.

Future changes will enable the port for a wide range of system
configurations running on the FPGA boards to ensure compatibility with
multiple FPGA images.

It is expected that this will replace the FPGA fork of the Linux kernel
bootwrapper by performing similar secure-world initialization and setup
through the use of drivers and other well-established methods, before
passing control to the kernel, which will act as the BL33 payload and
run in EL2NS.

This change introduces a basic, loadable port with the console
initialized by setting the baud rate and base address of the UART as
configured by the Zeus image.

It is a BL31-only port, and RESET_TO_BL31 is enabled to reflect this.
