In the wake of the upcoming unification of the console setup code between RPi3 and RPi4, extend the "clock-less" setup scheme to the RPi3. This avoid programming any clocks or baud rate registers, which makes the port more robust against GPU firmware changes.

So far we have seen two different clock setups for the Raspberry Pi 4 board, with the VPU clock divider being different. This was handled by reading the divider register and adjusting the base clock rate accordingly. Recently a new GPU firmware version appeared that changed the clock rate *again*, though this time at a higher level, so the VPU rate (and the apparent PLLC parent clock) did not seem to change, judging by reading the clock registers. So rather than playing cat and mouse with the GPU firmware or going further down the rabbit hole of exploring the whole clock tree, let's just skip the baud rate programming altogether. This works because the GPU firmware actually sets up and programs the debug UART already, so we can just use it. Pass 0 as the base clock rate to let the console driver skip the setup, also remove the no longer needed clock code.

The Raspberry Pi 4 is a single board computer with four Cortex-A72 cores. From a TF-A perspective it is quite similar to the Raspberry Pi 3, although it comes with more memory (up to 4GB) and has a GIC. This initial port though differs quite a lot from the existing rpi3 platform port, mainly due to taking a much simpler and more robust approach to loading the non-secure payload: The GPU firmware of the SoC, which is responsible for initial platform setup (including DRAM initialisation), already loads the kernel, device tree and the "armstub" into DRAM. We take advantage of this, by placing just a BL31 component into the armstub8.bin component, which will be executed first, in AArch64 EL3. The non-secure payload can be a kernel or a boot loader (U-Boot or EDK-2), disguised as the "kernel" image and loaded by the GPU firmware. So this is just a BL31-only port, which directly drops into EL2 and executes whatever has been loaded as the "kernel" image, handing over the DTB address in x0.

With the advent of Raspberry Pi 4 support, we need to separate some board specific headers between the RPi3 and RPi4. Rename and move the "rpi3_hw.h" header, so that .c files just include rpi_hw.h, and automatically get the correct version.
