The current macros only allow to define dynamic and statically-bound
SDEI events. However, there ought be a mechanism to define SDEI events
that are explicitly dispatched; i.e., events that are dispatched as a
result of a previous secure interrupt or other exception

This patch introduces SDEI_EXPLICIT_EVENT() macro to define an explicit
event. They must be placed under private mappings. Only the priority
flags are allowed to be additionally specified.

Documentation updated.

asserts in place to check it being negative during unregister. These are
flagged as never being true.

This allows for other EL3 components to schedule an SDEI event dispatch
to Normal world upon the next ERET. The API usage constrains are set out
in the SDEI dispatcher documentation.

Documentation to follow.

The implementation currently supports only interrupt-based SDEI events,
and supports all interfaces as defined by SDEI specification version
1.0 [1].

Introduce the build option SDEI_SUPPORT to include SDEI dispatcher in
BL31.

Update user guide and porting guide. SDEI documentation to follow.
