There are many instances in ARM Trusted Firmware where control is
transferred to functions from which return isn't expected. Such jumps
are made using 'bl' instruction to provide the callee with the location
from which it was jumped to. Additionally, debuggers infer the caller by
examining where 'lr' register points to. If a 'bl' of the nature
described above falls at the end of an assembly function, 'lr' will be
left pointing to a location outside of the function range. This misleads
the debugger back trace.

This patch defines a 'no_ret' macro to be used when jumping to functions
from which return isn't expected. The macro ensures to use 'bl'
instruction for the jump, and also, for debug builds, places a 'nop'
instruction immediately thereafter (unless instructed otherwise) so as
to leave 'lr' pointing within the function range.

This patch reworks type usage in generic code, drivers and ARM platform files
to make it more portable. The major changes done with respect to
type usage are as listed below:

* Use uintptr_t for storing address instead of uint64_t or unsigned long.
* Review usage of unsigned long as it can no longer be assumed to be 64 bit.
* Use u_register_t for register values whose width varies depending on
  whether AArch64 or AArch32.
* Use generic C types where-ever possible.

In addition to the above changes, this patch also modifies format specifiers
in print invocations so that they are AArch64/AArch32 agnostic. Only files
related to upcoming feature development have been reworked.

Added a new platform porting function plat_panic_handler, to allow
platforms to handle unexpected error situations. It must be
implemented in assembly as it may be called before the C environment
is initialized. A default implementation is provided, which simply
spins.

Corrected all dead loops in generic code to call this function
instead. This includes the dead loop that occurs at the end of the
call to panic().

All unnecesary wfis from bl32/tsp/aarch64/tsp_exceptions.S have
been removed.

The default reset values for the L2 Data & Tag RAM latencies on the
Cortex-A72 on Juno R2 are not suitable. This patch modifies
the Juno platform reset handler to configure the right settings
on Juno R2.

This patch splits the Juno reset handler in 4 distinct pieces:

 - Detection of the board revision;
 - Juno R0 specific handler;
 - Juno R1 specific handler;
 - Juno R2 specific handler.

Depending on the board revision, the appropriate handler is called.
This makes the code easier to understand and maintain.

This patch is mainly cosmetic. The only functional change introduced
is that the Juno platform reset handler will now spin infinitely if
the board revision is not recognised. Previously, it would have
assumed that it was running on Juno R1 in this case.

Currently all ARM CSS platforms which include css_helpers.S use the same
strong definition of `plat_arm_calc_core_pos`. This patch allows these CSS
platforms to define their own strong definition of this function.

* Replace the strong definition of `plat_arm_calc_core_pos` in
  css_helpers.S with a utility function `css_calc_core_pos_swap_cluster`
  does the same thing (swaps cluster IDs). ARM CSS platforms may choose
  to use this function or not.

* Add a Juno strong definition of `plat_arm_calc_core_pos`, which uses
  `css_calc_core_pos_swap_cluster`.

This patch removes the FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL build flag and its
use in ARM development platforms. If a different reset handling
behavior is required between the first and subsequent invocations
of the reset handling code, this should be detected at runtime.

On Juno, the platform reset handler is now always compiled in.
This means it is now executed twice on the cold boot path, first in
BL1 then in BL3-1, and it has the same behavior in both cases. It is
also executed twice on the warm boot path, first in BL1 then in the
PSCI entrypoint code.

Also update the documentation to reflect this change.

NOTE: THIS PATCH MAY FORCE PLATFORM PORTS THAT USE THE
FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL BUILD OPTION TO FIX THEIR RESET HANDLER.

Move the Juno port from plat/juno to plat/arm/board/juno. Also rename
some of the files so they are consistently prefixed with juno_.
Update the platform makefiles accordingly.
