The secure context saved and restored across a cpu_suspend operation
can be more than just the state of the secure system registers e.g. we
also need to save the affinity level till which the cpu is being
powered down. This patch creates a suspend_context data structure
which includes the system register context. This will allow other bits
to be saved and restored as well in subsequent patches.

This patch performs a major rework of the psci generic implementation
to achieve the following:

1. replace recursion with iteration where possible to aid code
   readability e.g. affinity instance states are changed iteratively
   instead of recursively.

2. acquire pointers to affinity instance nodes at the beginning of a
   psci operation. All subsequent actions use these pointers instead
   of calling psci_get_aff_map_node() repeatedly e.g. management of
   locks has been abstracted under functions which use these pointers
   to ensure correct ordering. Helper functions have been added to
   create these abstractions.

3. assertions have been added to cpu level handlers to ensure correct
   state transition

4. the affinity level extents specified to various functions have the
   same meaning i.e. start level is always less than the end level.

This patch:

1. removes a duplicate assertion to check that the only error
   condition that can be returned while turning a cpu off is
   PSCI_E_DENIED. Having this assertion after calling
   psci_afflvl_off() is sufficient.

2. corrects some incorrect usage of 'its' vs 'it is'

3. removes some unwanted white spaces

In the previous psci implementation, the psci_afflvl_power_on_finish()
function would run into an error condition if the value of the context
id parameter in the cpu_on and cpu_suspend psci calls was != 0. The
parameter was being restored as the return value of the affinity level
0 finisher function. A non zero context id would be treated as an
error condition. This would prevent successful wake up of the cpu from
a power down state. Also, the contents of the general purpose
registers were not being cleared upon return to the non-secure world
after a cpu power up. This could potentially allow the non-secure
world to view secure data.

This patch ensures that all general purpose registers are set to ~0
prior to the final eret that drops the execution to the non-secure
world. The context id is used to initialize the general purpose
register x0 prior to re-entry into the non-secure world and is no
longer restored as a function return value. A platform helper
(platform_get_stack()) has been introduced to facilitate this change.

  - 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.

Any asynchronous exception caused by the firmware should be handled
in the firmware itself.  For this reason, unmask SError exceptions
(and Debug ones as well) on all boot paths.  Also route external
abort and SError interrupts to EL3, otherwise they will target EL1.
