Various CPU drivers in ARM Trusted Firmware register functions to handle
power-down operations. At present, separate functions are registered to
power down individual cores and clusters.

This scheme operates on the basis of core and cluster, and doesn't cater
for extending the hierarchy for power-down operations. For example,
future CPUs might support multiple threads which might need powering
down individually.

This patch therefore reworks the CPU operations framework to allow for
registering power down handlers on specific level basis. Henceforth:

  - Generic code invokes CPU power down operations by the level
    required.

  - CPU drivers explicitly mention CPU_NO_RESET_FUNC when the CPU has no
    reset function.

  - CPU drivers register power down handlers as a list: a mandatory
    handler for level 0, and optional handlers for higher levels.

All existing CPU drivers are adapted to the new CPU operations framework
without needing any functional changes within.

Also update firmware design guide.

This patch adds ARM Cortex-A32 MPCore Processor support
in the CPU specific operations framework. It also includes
this support for the Base FVP port.

This patch adds common changes to support AArch32 state in
BL1 and BL2. Following are the changes:

* Added functions for disabling MMU from Secure state.
* Added AArch32 specific SMC function.
* Added semihosting support.
* Added reporting of unhandled exceptions.
* Added uniprocessor stack support.
* Added `el3_entrypoint_common` macro that can be
  shared by BL1 and BL32 (SP_MIN) BL stages. The
  `el3_entrypoint_common` is similar to the AArch64
  counterpart with the main difference in the assembly
  instructions and the registers that are relevant to
  AArch32 execution state.
* Enabled `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` flag in Makefile for
  `ARCH=aarch32` and added check to make sure that
  platform has not overridden to disable it.

This patch adds AArch32 support to cpu ops, context management,
per-cpu data and spinlock libraries. The `entrypoint_info`
structure is modified to add support for AArch32 register
arguments. The CPU operations for AEM generic cpu in AArch32
mode is also added.
