This patch allows platforms to define their
own jump table list for library at ROM. The
file has the list of functions to be used
from library at ROM. It can also include
other list files.

This patch adds support to build a combined BL1
and ROMLIB binary file with the right page
alignment in Juno. When USE_ROMLIB=1 is set for
Juno, it generates the combined file
bl1_romlib.bin which needs to be used instead of
bl1.bin

Register functions have to be added to the
jump table to allow patching in the
future

This change allows patching of functions in the
romlib. This can be done by adding "patch" at the
end of the jump table entry for the function that
needs to be patched in the file jmptbl.i.
Functions patched in the jump table list will be
built as part of the BL image and the romlib
version will not be used

This patch fixes up the AArch64 assembly code to use
adrp/adr instructions instead of ldr instruction for
reference to symbols. This allows these assembly
sequences to be Position Independant. Note that the
the reference to sizes have been replaced with
calculation of size at runtime. This is because size
is a constant value and does not depend on execution
address and using PC relative instructions for loading
them makes them relative to execution address. Also
we cannot use `ldr` instruction to load size as it
generates a dynamic relocation entry which must *not*
be fixed up and it is difficult for a dynamic loader
to differentiate which entries need to be skipped.

Romlib is a new image that is stored in ROM and contains the code of
several libraries that can be shared between different images. All
the functions within in the library are accessed using a jump table
which allows to update the romlib image whithout changing the binary
compatibility. This jump table can be also stored in RAM and it can
allow to patch a romlib with potential bugs fixes..
