The Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver allows for data to be loaded
from a FIP on platform storage. The FVP supports loading bootloader
images from a FIP located in NOR FLASH.

The implemented FVP policy states that bootloader images will be
loaded from a FIP in NOR FLASH if available and fall back to loading
individual images from semi-hosting.

NOTE:
- BL3-3(e.g. UEFI) is loaded into DRAM and needs to be configured
  to run from the BL33_BASE address. This is currently set to
  DRAM_BASE+128MB for the FVP.

The modified implementation uses the IO abstraction rather than
making direct semi-hosting calls.  The semi-hosting driver is now
registered for the FVP platform during initialisation of each boot
stage where it is used.  Additionally, the FVP platform includes a
straightforward implementation of 'plat_get_image_source' which
provides a generic means for the 'load_image' function to determine
how to access the image data.

This is intended primarily for use as a storage abstraction.
It allows operations such as image-loading to be implemented
in a platform-independent fashion.  Each platform registers
a set of IO drivers during initialisation.  The platform must
also provide a function that will return a device and a specifier
that can be used to access specified content.

Clients of the API will primarily use device and entity handles.
The term "entity" is deliberately vague, to allow for different
representations of content accessed using different types of
specifier, but will often be interpreted as a "file" where the
specifier will normally be its path.

This commit builds, but is intended to be paired with a sample
implementation of "load_image" using a semi-hosting driver on FVP.

GIC setup code which used to be in bl31_plat_setup.c is now in fvp_gic.c
to simplify future changes to other bootloader stages.  This patch moves
code from bl31_plat_setup.c to fvp_gic.c, simplifies the include file
list for bl31_plat_setup.c, moves GIC declarations from the bl31.h header
file into the platform.h, and reworks files according to coding style
guide.

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.
