A PSCI CPU_SUSPEND request to place a CPU in retention states at power levels
higher than the CPU power level is subject to the same state coordination as a
power down state. A CPU could implement multiple retention states at a
particular power level. When exiting WFI, the non-CPU power levels may be in a
different retention state to what was initially requested, therefore each CPU
should refresh its view of the states of all power levels.

Previously, a CPU re-used the state of the power levels when it entered the
retention state. This patch fixes this issue by ensuring that a CPU upon exit
from retention reads the state of each power level afresh.

This patch adds a runtime check that psci_find_target_suspend_lvl()
returns a valid value back to psci_cpu_suspend() and psci_get_stat().
If it is invalid, BL31 will now panic.

Note that on the PSCI CPU suspend path there is already a debug
assertion checking the validity of the target composite power state,
which effectively also checks the validity of the target suspend level.
Therefore, the error condition would already be caught in debug builds,
but in a release build this assertion would be compiled out.

On the PSCI stat path, there is currently no debug assertion checking
the validity of the power state before using it as an index into
the power domain state array.

Although BL31 platforms ports are responsible for validating the
power state parameter, the security impact (i.e. an out-of-bounds
array access) of a potential platform port bug in this code would
be quite high, given that this parameter comes from an untrusted
source. The cost of checking this in runtime generic code is low.

This patch introduces the PSCI Library interface. The major changes
introduced are as follows:

* Earlier BL31 was responsible for Architectural initialization during cold
boot via bl31_arch_setup() whereas PSCI was responsible for the same during
warm boot. This functionality is now consolidated by the PSCI library
and it does Architectural initialization via psci_arch_setup() during both
cold and warm boots.

* Earlier the warm boot entry point was always `psci_entrypoint()`. This was
not flexible enough as a library interface. Now PSCI expects the runtime
firmware to provide the entry point via `psci_setup()`. A new function
`bl31_warm_entrypoint` is introduced in BL31 and the previous
`psci_entrypoint()` is deprecated.

* The `smc_helpers.h` is reorganized to separate the SMC Calling Convention
defines from the Trusted Firmware SMC helpers. The former is now in a new
header file `smcc.h` and the SMC helpers are moved to Architecture specific
header.

* The CPU context is used by PSCI for context initialization and
restoration after power down (PSCI Context). It is also used by BL31 for SMC
handling and context management during Normal-Secure world switch (SMC
Context). The `psci_smc_handler()` interface is redefined to not use SMC
helper macros thus enabling to decouple the PSCI context from EL3 runtime
firmware SMC context. This enables PSCI to be integrated with other runtime
firmware using a different SMC context.

NOTE: With this patch the architectural setup done in `bl31_arch_setup()`
is done as part of `psci_setup()` and hence `bl31_platform_setup()` will be
invoked prior to architectural setup. It is highly unlikely that the platform
setup will depend on architectural setup and cause any failure. Please be
be aware of this change in sequence.

This patch moves the PSCI services and BL31 frameworks like context
management and per-cpu data into new library components `PSCI` and
`el3_runtime` respectively. This enables PSCI to be built independently from
BL31. A new `psci_lib.mk` makefile is introduced which adds the relevant
PSCI library sources and gets included by `bl31.mk`. Other changes which
are done as part of this patch are:

* The runtime services framework is now moved to the `common/` folder to
  enable reuse.
* The `asm_macros.S` and `assert_macros.S` helpers are moved to architecture
  specific folder.
* The `plat_psci_common.c` is moved from the `plat/common/aarch64/` folder
  to `plat/common` folder. The original file location now has a stub which
  just includes the file from new location to maintain platform compatibility.

Most of the changes wouldn't affect platform builds as they just involve
changes to the generic bl1.mk and bl31.mk makefiles.

NOTE: THE `plat_psci_common.c` FILE HAS MOVED LOCATION AND THE STUB FILE AT
THE ORIGINAL LOCATION IS NOW DEPRECATED. PLATFORMS SHOULD MODIFY THEIR
MAKEFILES TO INCLUDE THE FILE FROM THE NEW LOCATION.
