This patch removes the allocation of memory for coherent stacks, associated
accessor function and some dead code which called the accessor function. It also
updates the porting guide to remove the concept and the motivation behind using
stacks allocated in coherent memory.

This patch re-organizes the memory layout on FVP as to give the
BL3-2 image as much memory as possible.

Considering these two facts:
 - not all images need to live in memory at the same time. Once
   in BL3-1, the memory used by BL1 and BL2 can be reclaimed.
 - when BL2 loads the BL3-1 and BL3-2 images, it only considers the
   PROGBITS sections of those 2 images. The memory occupied by the
   NOBITS sections will be touched only at execution of the BL3-x
   images;
Then it is possible to choose the different base addresses such that
the NOBITS sections of BL3-1 and BL3-2 overlay BL1 and BL2.

On FVP we choose to put:
 - BL1 and BL3-1 at the top of the Trusted RAM, with BL3-1 NOBITS
   sections overlaying BL1;
 - BL3-2 at the bottom of the Trusted RAM, with its NOBITS sections
   overlaying BL2;

This is illustrated by the following diagram:

0x0404_0000 ------------    ------------------
            |   BL1    | <= |  BL3-1 NOBITS  |
            ------------ <= ------------------
            |          | <= | BL3-1 PROGBITS |
            ------------    ------------------
            |   BL2    | <= |  BL3-2 NOBITS  |
            ------------ <= ------------------
            |          | <= | BL3-2 PROGBITS |
0x0400_0000 ------------    ------------------

New platform-specific constants have been introduced to easily check
at link time that BL3-1 and BL3-2 PROGBITS sections don't overwrite
BL1 and BL2. These are optional and the platform code is free to define
them or not. If not defined, the linker won't attempt to check
image overlaying.

Changed the fvp_config array in fvp_common.c into a struct and
moved into a new optional common platform header,
include/plat/common/plat_config.h. Removed the config definitions
in fvp_def.h and updated all references to the platform config.

This makes the interface to the platform config cleaner and uses
a little less RAM.

The 'plat_print_gic_regs' macro was accessing the GICC_CTLR register
using the GICD_CTLR offset. This still generates the right code in
the end because GICD_CTLR == GICC_CTLR but this patch fixes it for
the logic of the code.

The array of affinity nodes is currently allocated for 32 entries
with the PSCI_NUM_AFFS value defined in psci.h. This is not enough
for large systems, and will substantially over allocate the array
for small systems.

This patch introduces an optional platform definition
PLATFORM_NUM_AFFS to platform_def.h. If defined this value is
used for PSCI_NUM_AFFS, otherwise a value of two times the number
of CPU cores is used.

The FVP port defines PLATFORM_NUM_AFFS to be 10 which saves
nearly 1.5KB of memory.

This memory is not used by the FVP port and requires an additional
4KB translation table.

This patch removes the entry from the memory map and reduces the
number of allocated translation tables.

FVP specific files and functions containing the word "plat" have been
renamed to use the word "fvp" to distinguish them from the common
platform functionality and porting functions.

Previously, platform.h contained many declarations and definitions
used for different purposes. This file has been split so that:

* Platform definitions used by common code that must be defined
  by the platform are now in platform_def.h. The exact include
  path is exported through $PLAT_INCLUDES in the platform makefile.

* Platform definitions specific to the FVP platform are now in
  /plat/fvp/fvp_def.h.

* Platform API declarations specific to the FVP platform are now
  in /plat/fvp/fvp_private.h.

* The remaining platform API declarations that must be ported by
  each platform are still in platform.h but this file has been
  moved to /include/plat/common since this can be shared by all
  platforms.

This patch implements the register reporting when unhandled exceptions are
taken in BL3-1. Unhandled exceptions will result in a dump of registers
to the console, before halting execution by that CPU. The Crash Stack,
previously called the Exception Stack, is used for this activity.
This stack is used to preserve the CPU context and runtime stack
contents for debugging and analysis.

This also introduces the per_cpu_ptr_cache, referenced by tpidr_el3,
to provide easy access to some of BL3-1 per-cpu data structures.
Initially, this is used to provide a pointer to the Crash stack.

panic() now prints the the error file and line number in Debug mode
and prints the PC value in release mode.

The Exception Stack is renamed to Crash Stack with this patch.
The original intention of exception stack is no longer valid
since we intend to support several valid exceptions like IRQ
and FIQ in the trusted firmware context. This stack is now
utilized for dumping and reporting the system state when a
crash happens and hence the rename.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#79 Improve reporting of unhandled exception
