This patch adds support for loading a BL3-2 image in BL2. In case a
BL3-2 image is found, it also passes information to BL3-1 about where it
is located and the extents of memory available to it. Information about
memory extents is populated by platform specific code.

The documentation has also been updated to reflect the above changes.

This patch reworks BL2 to BL3-1 hand over interface by introducing a
composite structure (bl31_args) that holds the superset of information
that needs to be passed from BL2 to BL3-1.

  - The extents of secure memory available to BL3-1
  - The extents of memory available to BL3-2 (not yet implemented) and
    BL3-3
  - Information to execute BL3-2 (not yet implemented) and BL3-3 images

This patch also introduces a new platform API (bl2_get_bl31_args_ptr)
that needs to be implemented by the platform code to export reference to
bl31_args structure which has been allocated in platform-defined memory.

The platform will initialize the extents of memory available to BL3-3
during early platform setup in bl31_args structure. This obviates the
need for bl2_get_ns_mem_layout platform API.

BL2 calls the bl2_get_bl31_args_ptr function to get a reference to
bl31_args structure. It uses the 'bl33_meminfo' field of this structure
to load the BL3-3 image. It sets the entry point information for the
BL3-3 image in the 'bl33_image_info' field of this structure. The
reference to this structure is passed to the BL3-1 image.

Also fixes issue ARM-software/tf-issues#25

The Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver allows for data to be loaded
from a FIP on platform storage. The FVP supports loading bootloader
images from a FIP located in NOR FLASH.

The implemented FVP policy states that bootloader images will be
loaded from a FIP in NOR FLASH if available and fall back to loading
individual images from semi-hosting.

NOTE:
- BL3-3(e.g. UEFI) is loaded into DRAM and needs to be configured
  to run from the BL33_BASE address. This is currently set to
  DRAM_BASE+128MB for the FVP.

The modified implementation uses the IO abstraction rather than
making direct semi-hosting calls.  The semi-hosting driver is now
registered for the FVP platform during initialisation of each boot
stage where it is used.  Additionally, the FVP platform includes a
straightforward implementation of 'plat_get_image_source' which
provides a generic means for the 'load_image' function to determine
how to access the image data.

Platform setup code has to reserve some memory for storing the
memory layout information.  It is populated in early platform setup
code.

blx_get_sec_mem_layout() functions used to return a copy of this
structure.  This patch modifies blx_get_sec_mem_layout() functions
so that they now directly return a pointer to their memory layout
structure.  It ensures that the memory layout returned by
blx_get_sec_mem_layout() is always up-to-date and also avoids a
useless copy of the meminfo structure.

Also rename blx_get_sec_mem_layout() to blx_plat_sec_mem_layout()
to make it clear those functions are platform specific.

  - Check at link-time that bootloader images will fit in memory
    at run time and that they won't overlap each other.
  - Remove text and rodata orphan sections.
  - Define new linker symbols to remove the need for platform setup
    code to know the order of sections.
  - Reduce the size of the raw binary images by cutting some sections
    out of the disk image and allocating them at load time, whenever
    possible.
  - Rework alignment constraints on sections.
  - Remove unused linker symbols.
  - Homogenize linker symbols names across all BLs.
  - Add some comments in the linker scripts.

On FVP platforms, for now it is assumed that the normal-world
bootloader is already sitting in its final memory location.
Therefore, BL2 doesn't need to load it and so it doesn't need
to know the extents of the non-trusted DRAM.

Global and static variables are expected to be initialised to zero
by default.  This is specified by the C99 standard. This patch
removes some unnecessary initialisations of such variables.

It fixes a compilation warning at the same time:
  plat/fvp/bl31_plat_setup.c:82:3: warning: missing braces around
  initializer [-Wmissing-braces]
     section("tzfw_coherent_mem"))) = {0};
     ^
  plat/fvp/bl31_plat_setup.c:82:3: warning: (near initialization for
  ‘ns_entry_info[0]’) [-Wmissing-braces]

Note that GCC should not have emitted this warning message in the
first place.  The C Standard permits braces to be elided around
subaggregate initializers.  See this GCC bug report:

blx_plat_arch_setup() should only perform platform-specific
architectural setup, e.g. enabling the MMU.  This patch moves
generic architectural setup code out of blx_plat_arch_setup().
