At present, bl1_arch_setup() and bl31_arch_setup() program the counter
frequency using a value from the memory mapped generic timer. The
generic timer however is not necessarily present on all ARM systems
(although it is architected to be present on all server systems).

This patch moves the timer setup to platform-specific code and updates
the relevant documentation. Also, CNTR.FCREQ is set as the specification
requires the bit corresponding to the counter's frequency to be set when
enabling. Since we intend to use the base frequency, set bit 8.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#24

The UART used to be initialised in bl1_platform_setup(). This is too
late because there are some calls to the assert() macro, which needs
to print some messages on the console, before that.

This patch moves the UART initialisation code to
bl1_early_platform_setup().

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#49

This patch adds the ability to specify the base address of a UART
device for initialising the console. This allows a boot loader stage
to use a different UART device from UART0 (default) for the console.

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.

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.

Platform setup code has to reserve some memory for storing the
memory layout information.  It is populated in early platform setup
code.

blx_get_sec_mem_layout() functions used to return a copy of this
structure.  This patch modifies blx_get_sec_mem_layout() functions
so that they now directly return a pointer to their memory layout
structure.  It ensures that the memory layout returned by
blx_get_sec_mem_layout() is always up-to-date and also avoids a
useless copy of the meminfo structure.

Also rename blx_get_sec_mem_layout() to blx_plat_sec_mem_layout()
to make it clear those functions are platform specific.

This patch makes sure the C runtime environment is properly
initialised before executing any C code.

  - Zero-initialise NOBITS sections (e.g. the bss section).
  - Relocate BL1 data from ROM to RAM.

  - Check at link-time that bootloader images will fit in memory
    at run time and that they won't overlap each other.
  - Remove text and rodata orphan sections.
  - Define new linker symbols to remove the need for platform setup
    code to know the order of sections.
  - Reduce the size of the raw binary images by cutting some sections
    out of the disk image and allocating them at load time, whenever
    possible.
  - Rework alignment constraints on sections.
  - Remove unused linker symbols.
  - Homogenize linker symbols names across all BLs.
  - Add some comments in the linker scripts.

Global and static variables are expected to be initialised to zero
by default.  This is specified by the C99 standard. This patch
removes some unnecessary initialisations of such variables.

It fixes a compilation warning at the same time:
  plat/fvp/bl31_plat_setup.c:82:3: warning: missing braces around
  initializer [-Wmissing-braces]
     section("tzfw_coherent_mem"))) = {0};
     ^
  plat/fvp/bl31_plat_setup.c:82:3: warning: (near initialization for
  ‘ns_entry_info[0]’) [-Wmissing-braces]

Note that GCC should not have emitted this warning message in the
first place.  The C Standard permits braces to be elided around
subaggregate initializers.  See this GCC bug report:

  CCI.
