When pointer authentication is enabled, the LR value saved on the stack
contains a Pointer Authentication Code (PAC). It must be stripped to
retrieve the return address.

The PAC field is stored on the high bits of the address and defined as:
- PAC field = Xn[54:bottom_PAC_bit], when address tagging is used.
- PAC field = Xn[63:56, 54:bottom_PAC_bit], without address tagging.

With bottom_PAC_bit = 64 - TCR_ELx.TnSZ

Corrects typos in core code, documentation files, drivers, Arm
platforms and services.

None of the corrections affect code; changes are limited to comments
and other documentation.

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.

The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:

- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}

The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).

For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").

This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca339

 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.

Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

It's better to have them in a separate file instead of having them spread
across the Makefile. This is what the stack protector is already doing.
