There are many instances in ARM Trusted Firmware where control is
transferred to functions from which return isn't expected. Such jumps
are made using 'bl' instruction to provide the callee with the location
from which it was jumped to. Additionally, debuggers infer the caller by
examining where 'lr' register points to. If a 'bl' of the nature
described above falls at the end of an assembly function, 'lr' will be
left pointing to a location outside of the function range. This misleads
the debugger back trace.

This patch defines a 'no_ret' macro to be used when jumping to functions
from which return isn't expected. The macro ensures to use 'bl'
instruction for the jump, and also, for debug builds, places a 'nop'
instruction immediately thereafter (unless instructed otherwise) so as
to leave 'lr' pointing within the function range.

This patch resets EL2 and EL3 registers that have architecturally
UNKNOWN values on reset and that also provide EL2/EL3 configuration
and trap controls.

Specifically, the EL2 physical timer is disabled to prevent timer
interrups into EL2 - CNTHP_CTL_EL2 and CNTHP_CTL for AArch64 and AArch32,
respectively.

Additionally, for AArch64, HSTR_EL2 is reset to avoid unexpected traps of
non-secure access to certain system registers at EL1 or lower.

For AArch32, the patch also reverts the reset to SDCR which was
incorrectly added in a previous change.

In order to avoid unexpected traps into EL3/MON mode, this patch
resets the debug registers, MDCR_EL3 and MDCR_EL2 for AArch64,
and SDCR and HDCR for AArch32.

MDCR_EL3/SDCR is zero'ed when EL3/MON mode is entered, at the
start of BL1 and BL31/SMP_MIN.

For MDCR_EL2/HDCR, this patch zero's the bits that are
architecturally UNKNOWN values on reset. This is done when
exiting from EL3/MON mode but only on platforms that support
EL2/HYP mode but choose to exit to EL1/SVC mode.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#430

At present the `el3_entrypoint_common` macro uses `memcpy`
function defined in lib/stdlib/mem.c file, to copy data
from ROM to RAM for BL1. Depending on the compiler being
used the stack could potentially be used, in `memcpy`,
for storing the local variables. Since the stack is
initialized much later in `el3_entrypoint_common` it
may result in unknown behaviour.

This patch adds `memcpy4` function definition in assembly so
that it can be used before the stack is initialized and it
also replaces `memcpy` by `memcpy4` in `el3_entrypoint_common`
macro, to copy data from ROM to RAM for BL1.

This patch adds common changes to support AArch32 state in
BL1 and BL2. Following are the changes:

* Added functions for disabling MMU from Secure state.
* Added AArch32 specific SMC function.
* Added semihosting support.
* Added reporting of unhandled exceptions.
* Added uniprocessor stack support.
* Added `el3_entrypoint_common` macro that can be
  shared by BL1 and BL32 (SP_MIN) BL stages. The
  `el3_entrypoint_common` is similar to the AArch64
  counterpart with the main difference in the assembly
  instructions and the registers that are relevant to
  AArch32 execution state.
* Enabled `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` flag in Makefile for
  `ARCH=aarch32` and added check to make sure that
  platform has not overridden to disable it.

This patch adds various assembly helpers for AArch32 like :

* cache management : Functions to flush, invalidate and clean
cache by MVA. Also helpers to do cache operations by set-way
are also added.

* stack management: Macros to declare stack and get the current
stack corresponding to current CPU.

* Misc: Macros to access co processor registers in AArch32,
macros to define functions in assembly, assert macros, generic
`do_panic()` implementation and function to zero block of memory.
