Rename CFG_ULIBS_GPROF to CFG_ULIBS_MCOUNT

CFG_ULIBS_GPROF builds the user mode libraries with -pg, which adds
instrumentation to all functions in the form of a call to mcount().
This was historically used by gprof, but other tools can benefit from
this instrumentation. Therefore, rename the config flag as well as a
couple of source files to remove the reference to gprof.

Add support for user TA profiling with gprof (-pg)

Adds the infrastructure to collect profiling information from Trusted
Applications running in user mode and instrumented with -pg.

Add support for user TA profiling with gprof (-pg)

Adds the infrastructure to collect profiling information from Trusted
Applications running in user mode and instrumented with -pg.
Enable with: CFG_TA_GPROF_SUPPORT=y.

Profiling support in itself adds no significant performance overhead.
Instrumented applications however may run 1.3x - 2x slower, and have a
larger .bss section (+1.36 times .text size for 32-bit TAs, +1.77 times
.text size for 64-bit ones).
