The current macros only allow to define dynamic and statically-bound
SDEI events. However, there ought be a mechanism to define SDEI events
that are explicitly dispatched; i.e., events that are dispatched as a
result of a previous secure interrupt or other exception

This patch introduces SDEI_EXPLICIT_EVENT() macro to define an explicit
event. They must be placed under private mappings. Only the priority
flags are allowed to be additionally specified.

Documentation updated.

When dynamic mitigation is used, the SDEI handler is required to
execute with the mitigation enabled by default, regardless of the
mitigation state for lower ELs.  This means that if the kernel or
hypervisor explicitly disables the mitigation and then later when the
event is dispatched, the dispatcher will remember the mitigation state
for the lower ELs but force the mitigation to be on during the SDEI
handler execution.  When the SDEI handler returns, it will restore the
mitigation state.

This behaviour is described in "Firmware interfaces for mitigating
cache speculation vulnerabilities System Software on Arm Systems"[0].

Ensure (where possible) that switch statements in services comply with
MISRA rules 16.1 - 16.7.

Currently, when the client attempts to do SDEI_EVENT_COMPLETE or
SDEI_EVENT_COMPLETE_AND_RESUME, the dispatcher pops off the outstanding
dispatch context for sanity check. There are however other checks
following this, which could potentially return failure. If that happens,
by popping the context, the dispatcher has inadvertently discarded a
valid context.

This patch fixes this bug by inspecting (not actually popping) the
outstanding context. The context is popped only after all error checks
are completed.

This fixes all defects according to MISRA Rule 3.1: "The character
sequences /* and // shall not be used within a comment". This affects
all URLs in comments, so they have been removed:

- The link in `sdei_state.c` can also be found in the documentation file
  `docs/sdei.rst`.

- The bug that the file `io_fip.c` talks about doesn't affect the
  currently supported version of GCC, so it doesn't make sense to keep
  the comment. Note that the version of GCC officially supported is the
  one that comes with Linaro Release 17.10, which is GCC 6.2.

- The link in `tzc400.c` was broken, and it didn't correctly direct to
  the Technical Reference Manual it should. The link has been replaced
  by the title of the document, which is more convenient when looking
  for the document.

At present, both SDEI_PRIVATE_RESET and SDEI_SHARED_RESET returns
SDEI_PENDING if they fail to unregister an event. The SDEI specification
however requires that the APIs return SDEI_EDENY in these cases. This
patch fixes the return codes for the reset APIs.

The SDEI specification requires that binding a client interrupt
dispatches SDEI Normal priority event. This means that dynamic events
can't have Critical priority. Add asserts for this.

This allows for other EL3 components to schedule an SDEI event dispatch
to Normal world upon the next ERET. The API usage constrains are set out
in the SDEI dispatcher documentation.

Documentation to follow.

The implementation currently supports only interrupt-based SDEI events,
and supports all interfaces as defined by SDEI specification version
1.0 [1].

Introduce the build option SDEI_SUPPORT to include SDEI dispatcher in
BL31.

Update user guide and porting guide. SDEI documentation to follow.
