and it also update the version and function list in the firmware design.

implementation of the PSCI handlers.

This patch gives users control over logging messages printed from the C
code using the LOG macros defined in debug.h Users now have the ability
to reduce the log_level at run time using the tf_log_set_max_level()
function. The default prefix string can be defined by platform by
overriding the `plat_log_get_prefix()` platform API which is also
introduced in this patch.

The new log framework results in saving of some RO data. For example,
when BL1 is built for FVP with LOG_LEVEL=LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE, resulted
in saving 384 bytes of RO data and increase of 8 bytes of RW data. The
framework also adds about 108 bytes of code to the release build of FVP.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#462

Fix the level of the section
"13.   Function : plat_setup_psci_ops() [mandatory]",
including all the subsections.

Fix the level of the section
"12.7.   plat_psci_ops.pwr_domain_suspend_pwrdown_early() [optional]"
to lower it like the surrounding functions.

This patch adds an early suspend handler, that executes with
SMP and data cache enabled. This handler allows platforms to
perform any early actions during the CPU suspend entry sequence.

This handler is optional and platforms can choose to implement it
depending on their needs. The `pwr_domain_suspend` handler still
exists and platforms can keep on using it without any side effects.

At the moment, various parts of the Trusted Firmware code assume
that the granule size used is 4 KB. For example, the linker scripts
enforce 4 KB alignment restrictions on some sections.

However, the ARMv8-A architecture allows 16 KB and 64 KB granule
sizes as well. Some other parts of the TF code, particularly the
architectural code and definitions, have been implemented with
this in mind and cater for all 3 cases.

This discrepancy creates some confusion as to what is effectively
supported in TF. This patch adds some code comments and clarification
in the documentation to make this limitation clearer.

Due to recent issues in the rendering of the documentation on GitHub and
some long-standing issues like the lack of automatic table of content in
Markdown, the documentation has been converted to reStructuredText.
Basic constructs looks pretty similar to Markdown.

Automatically convert GitHub markdown documentation to reStructuredText
using pandoc.
