Add build configuration for timer save/restore

At present, non-secure timer register contents are saved and restored as
part of world switch by BL3-1. This effectively means that the
non-secure timer stops, and non-secure timer interrupts are prevented
from asserting until BL3-1 switches back, introducing latency for
non-secure services. Often, secure world might depend on alternate
sources for secure interrupts (secure timer or platform timer) instead
of non-secure timers, in which case this save and restore is
unnecessary.

This patch introduces a boolean build-time configuration NS_TIMER_SWITCH
to choose whether or not to save and restore non-secure timer registers
upon world switch. The default choice is made not to save and restore
them.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#148

Rework BL3-1 unhandled exception handling and reporting

This patch implements the register reporting when unhandled exceptions are
taken in BL3-1. Unhandled exceptions will result in a dump of registers
to the console, before halting execution by that CPU. The Crash Stack,
previously called the Exception Stack, is used for this activity.
This stack is used to preserve the CPU context and runtime stack
contents for debugging and analysis.

This also introduces the per_cpu_ptr_cache, referenced by tpidr_el3,
to provide easy access to some of BL3-1 per-cpu data structures.
Initially, this is used to provide a pointer to the Crash stack.

panic() now prints the the error file and line number in Debug mode
and prints the PC value in release mode.

The Exception Stack is renamed to Crash Stack with this patch.
The original intention of exception stack is no longer valid
since we intend to support several valid exceptions like IRQ
and FIQ in the trusted firmware context. This stack is now
utilized for dumping and reporting the system state when a
crash happens and hence the rename.

Build system: Trigger dependency checking only for build targets

The Makefile used to specify a blacklist of rules for which
dependency checking must not be triggered. This list included
cleaning rules only, whereas all other non-build targets (e.g.
help, checkpatch, etc.) should also be included.

This approach seems a bit fragile because it is easy to forget
some non-building rules in the blacklist, as the experience
showed us. It is more robust to specify a whitelist of rules
for which dependency checking is required.

Implement ARM Standard Service

This patch implements ARM Standard Service as a runtime service and adds
support for call count, UID and revision information SMCs. The existing
PSCI implementation is subsumed by the Standard Service calls and all
PSCI calls are therefore dispatched by the Standard Service to the PSCI
handler.

At present, PSCI is the only specification under Standard Service. Thus
call count returns the number of PSCI calls implemented. As this is the
initial implementation, a revision number of 0.1 is returned for call
revision.

Update Makefiles to get proper dependency checking working.

This change requires all platforms to now specify a list of source files
rather than object files.

New source files should preferably be specified by using the path as
well and we should add this in the future for all files so we can remove
use of vpath. This is desirable because vpath hides issues like the fact
that BL2 currently pulls in a BL1 file bl1/aarch64/early_exceptions.S
and if in the future we added bl2/aarch64/early_exceptions.S then it's
likely only one of the two version would be used for both bootloaders.

This change also removes the 'dump' build target and simply gets
bootloaders to always generate a dump file. At the same time the -x
option is added so the section headers and symbols table are listed.

Add Test Secure Payload Dispatcher (TSPD) service

This patch adds the TSPD service which is responsible for managing
communication between the non-secure state and the Test Secure Payload
(TSP) executing in S-EL1.

The TSPD does the following:

1. Determines the location of the TSP (BL3-2) image and passes control
to it for initialization. This is done by exporting the 'bl32_init()'
function.

2. Receives a structure containing the various entry points into the TSP
image as a response to being initialized. The TSPD uses this
information to determine how the TSP should be entered depending on
the type of operation.

3. Implements a synchronous mechanism for entering into and returning
from the TSP image. This mechanism saves the current C runtime
context on top of the current stack and jumps to the TSP through an
ERET instruction. The TSP issues an SMC to indicate completion of the
previous request. The TSPD restores the saved C runtime context and
resumes TSP execution.

This patch also introduces a Make variable 'SPD' to choose the specific
SPD to include in the build. By default, no SPDs are included in the
build.

Factor out translation table setup in ARM FVP port

This patch factors out the ARM FVP specific code to create MMU
translation tables so that it is possible for a boot loader stage to
create a different set of tables instead of using the default ones.
The default translation tables are created with the assumption that
the calling boot loader stage executes out of secure SRAM. This might
not be true for the BL3_2 stage in the future.

A boot loader stage can define the `fill_xlation_tables()` function as
per its requirements. It returns a reference to the level 1
translation table which is used by the common platform code to setup
the TTBR_EL3.

This patch is a temporary solution before a larger rework of
translation table creation logic is introduced.
