Some CPUS may benefit from using a dynamic mitigation approach for
CVE-2018-3639.  A new SMC interface is defined to allow software
executing in lower ELs to enable or disable the mitigation for their
execution context.

It should be noted that regardless of the state of the mitigation for
lower ELs, code executing in EL3 is always mitigated against
CVE-2018-3639.

NOTE: This change is a compatibility break for any platform using
the declare_cpu_ops_workaround_cve_2017_5715 macro.  Migrate to
the declare_cpu_ops_wa macro instead.

For affected CPUs, this approach enables the mitigation during EL3
initialization, following every PE reset. No mechanism is provided to
disable the mitigation at runtime.

This approach permanently mitigates the entire software stack and no
additional mitigation code is required in other software components.

TF-A implements this approach for the following affected CPUs:

*   Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A72, by setting bit 55 (Disable load pass store) of
    `CPUACTLR_EL1` (`S3_1_C15_C2_0`).

*   Cortex-A73, by setting bit 3 of `S3_0_C15_C0_0` (not documented in the
    Technical Reference Manual (TRM)).

*   Cortex-A75, by setting bit 35 (reserved in TRM) of `CPUACTLR_EL1`
    (`S3_0_C15_C1_0`).

Additionally, a new SMC interface is implemented to allow software
executing in lower ELs to discover whether the system is mitigated
against CVE-2018-3639.

This patch renames symbols and files relating to CVE-2017-5715 to make
it easier to introduce new symbols and files for new CVE mitigations.

Only return -1 if the workaround for CVE-2017-5715 is not compiled in.

When the source code says 'SMCC' it is talking about the SMC Calling
Convention. The correct acronym is SMCCC. This affects a few definitions
and file names.

Some files have been renamed (smcc.h, smcc_helpers.h and smcc_macros.S)
but the old files have been kept for compatibility, they include the
new ones with an ERROR_DEPRECATED guard.

When querying `SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1` through `SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES`,
return either:
  * -1 to indicate the PE on which `SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES` is called
    requires firmware mitigation for CVE-2017-5715 but the mitigation
    is not compiled in.
  * 0 to indicate that firmware mitigation is required, or
  * 1 to indicate that no firmware mitigation is required.

This patch complies with v1.2 of the firmware interfaces
specification (ARM DEN 0070A).

SMCCC v1.1 comes with a relaxed calling convention for AArch64
callers.  The caller only needs to save x0-x3 before doing an SMC
call.

This patch adds support for SMCCC_VERSION and SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES.
