Several code blocks do not specify a language for syntax
highlighting. This results in Sphinx using a default highlighter
which is Python.

This patch adds the correct language to each code block that doesn't
already specify it.

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 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.

SDEI event dispatches currently only sets up the Non-secure context
before returning to the caller. The actual dispatch only happens upon
exiting EL3 next time.

However, for various error handling scenarios, it's beneficial to have
the dispatch happen synchronously. I.e. when receiving SDEI interrupt,
or for a successful sdei_dispatch_event() call, the event handler is
executed; and upon the event completion, dispatcher execution resumes
after the point of dispatch. The jump primitives introduced in the
earlier patch facilitates this feature.

With this patch:

  - SDEI interrupts and calls to sdei_dispatch_event prepares the NS
    context for event dispatch, then sets a jump point, and immediately
    exits EL3. This results in the client handler executing in
    Non-secure.

  - When the SDEI client completes the dispatched event, the SDEI
    dispatcher does a longjmp to the jump pointer created earlier. For
    the caller of the sdei_dispatch_event() in particular, this would
    appear as if call returned successfully.

The dynamic workaround for CVE_2018_3639 is slightly shifted around as
part of related minor refactoring. It doesn't affect the workaround
functionality.

Documentation updated.

NOTE: This breaks the semantics of the explicit dispatch API, and any
exiting usages should be carefully reviewed.

The current macros only allow to define dynamic and statically-bound
SDEI events. However, there ought be a mechanism to define SDEI events
that are explicitly dispatched; i.e., events that are dispatched as a
result of a previous secure interrupt or other exception

This patch introduces SDEI_EXPLICIT_EVENT() macro to define an explicit
event. They must be placed under private mappings. Only the priority
flags are allowed to be additionally specified.

Documentation updated.

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.

The explicit event dispatch sequence currently depicts handling done in
Secure EL1, although further error handling is typically done inside a
Secure Partition. Clarify the sequence diagram to that effect.

The document includes SDEI sequence diagrams that are generated using
PlantUML [1].

A shell script is introduced to generate SVG files from PlantUML files
supplied in arguments.
