This change creates the following directories under docs/
in order to provide a grouping for the content:

- components
- design
- getting_started
- perf
- process

In each of these directories an index.rst file is created
and this serves as an index / landing page for each of the
groups when the pages are compiled. Proper layout of the
top-level table of contents relies on this directory/index
structure.

Without this patch it is possible to build the documents
correctly with Sphinx but the output looks messy because
there is no overall hierarchy.

Update Arm Trusted Firmware references in the upstream documents to
Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A). This is for consistency with and
disambiguation from Trusted Firmware-M (TF-M).

Also update other Arm trademarks, e.g. ARM->Arm, ARMv8->Armv8-A.

Acknowledging interrupt shall return a raw value from the interrupt
controller in which the actual interrupt ID may be encoded. Add a
platform API to extract the actual interrupt ID from the raw value
obtained from interrupt controller.

Document the new function. Also clarify the semantics of interrupt
acknowledge.

The back end GIC driver converts and assigns the interrupt type to
suitable group.

For GICv2, a build option GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3 is introduced, which
determines to which type Group 0 interrupts maps to.

 - When the build option is set 0 (the default), Group 0 interrupts are
   meant for Secure EL1. This is presently the case.

 - Otherwise, Group 0 interrupts are meant for EL3. This means the SPD
   will have to synchronously hand over the interrupt to Secure EL1.

The query API allows the platform to query whether the platform supports
interrupts of a given type.

API documentation updated.

These APIs allow the GIC implementation to categorize interrupt numbers
into SPIs, PPIs, and SGIs. The default implementations for GICv2 and
GICv3 follows interrupt numbering as specified by the ARM GIC
architecture.
