fix(bl2): unify the BL2 EL3 and RME entrypoints

BL2 has 3(!) entrypoints:
1) the regular EL1 entrypoint (once per AArch)
2) an EL3 entrypoint
3) an EL3 entrypoint with RME

The EL1 and EL3 entrypoints are quite distinct so it's useful to keep
them separate. But the EL3 and RME entrypoints are conceptually
identical just configured differently and having slightly different
assumptions (eg whether we can rely on BL1). So put them together with
only the configuration as a difference. This has a few benefits:
* makes the naming consistent - BL2 always runs at EL1, BL2_EL3 always
runs at EL3. This is most important for the linker script.
* paves the way for ENABLE_RME and RESET_TO_BL2 to coexist.
* allows for more general refactors

Currently, ENABLE_RME and RESET_TO_BL2 are mutually exclusive (from a
makefile constraint) so the checks are simplified to one or the other as
there is no danger of their simultaneous use.

feat(build): check that .text section starts at page boundary

Linker may decide to put new unspecified sections before .text
section. That will cause non-working image, because entry point isn't
at __BLXX_START__. Device just not booted with such image.

This happened for example with .note.gnu.build-id section generated
for LTO build in some cases. Now linker will report this situation as
an error.

```
/usr/lib/gcc-cross/aarch64-linux-gnu/13/../../../../aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/ld: .text is not aligned on a page boundary.

build: always prefix section names with `.`

Some of our specialized sections are not prefixed with the conventional
period. The compiler uses input section names to derive certain other
section names (e.g. `.rela.text`, `.relacpu_ops`), and these can be
difficult to select in linker scripts when there is a lack of a
delimiter.

This change introduces the period prefix to all specialized section
names.

BREAKING-CHANGE: All input and output linker section names have been
prefixed with the period character, e.g. `cpu_ops` -> `.cpu_ops`.

feat(rme): run BL2 in root world when FEAT_RME is enabled

This patch enables BL2 to run in root world (EL3) which is
needed as per the security model of RME-enabled systems.

Using the existing BL2_AT_EL3 TF-A build option is not convenient
because that option assumes TF-A BL1 doesn't exist, which is not
the case for RME-enabled systems. For the purposes of RME, we use
a normal BL1 image but we also want to run BL2 in EL3 as normally as
possible, therefore rather than use the special bl2_entrypoint
function in bl2_el3_entrypoint.S, we use a new bl2_entrypoint
function (in bl2_rme_entrypoint.S) which doesn't need reset or
mailbox initialization code seen in the el3_entrypoint_common macro.

The patch also cleans up bl2_el3_entrypoint.S, moving the
bl2_run_next_image function to its own file to avoid duplicating
code.

linker_script: move .data section to bl_common.ld.h

Move the data section to the common header.

I slightly tweaked some scripts as follows:

[1] bl1.ld.S has ALIGN(16). I added DATA_ALIGN macro, which is 1
by default, but overridden by bl1.ld.S. Currently, ALIGN(16)
of the .data section is redundant because commit 412865907699
("Fix boot failures on some builds linked with ld.lld.") padded
out the previous section to work around the issue of LLD version
<= 10.0. This will be fixed in the future release of LLVM, so
I am keeping the proper way to align LMA.

[2] bl1.ld.S and bl2_el3.ld.S define __DATA_RAM_{START,END}__ instead
of __DATA_{START,END}__. I put them out of the .data section.

[3] SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT() is missing tsp.ld.S, sp_min.ld.S, and
mediatek/mt6795/bl31.ld.S. This commit adds SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT()
for all images, so the symbol order in those three will change,
but I do not think it is a big deal.

linker_script: move bss section to bl_common.ld.h

Move the bss section to the common header. This adds BAKERY_LOCK_NORMAL
and PMF_TIMESTAMP, which previously existed only in BL31. This is not
a big deal because unused data should not be compiled in the first
place. I believe this should be controlled by BL*_SOURCES in Makefiles,
not by linker scripts.

I investigated BL1, BL2, BL2U, BL31 for plat=fvp, and BL2-AT-EL3,
BL31, BL31 for plat=uniphier. I did not see any more unexpected
code addition.

The bss section has bigger alignment. I added BSS_ALIGN for this.

Currently, SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT() is missing in sp_min.ld.S, and with this
change, the BSS symbols in SP_MIN will be sorted by the alignment.
This is not a big deal (or, even better in terms of the image size).

linker_script: replace common read-only data with RODATA_COMMON

The common section data are repeated in many linker scripts (often
twice in each script to support SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA). When you
add a new read-only data section, you end up with touching lots of
places.

After this commit, you will only need to touch bl_common.ld.h when
you add a new section to RODATA_COMMON.

Replace a series of RO section with RODATA_COMMON, which contains
6 sections, some of which did not exist before.

This is not a big deal because unneeded data should not be compiled
in the first place. I believe this should be controlled by BL*_SOURCES
in Makefiles, not by linker scripts.

When I was working on this commit, the BL1 image size increased
due to the fconf_populator. Commit c452ba159c14 ("fconf: exclude
fconf_dyn_cfg_getter.c from BL1_SOURCES") fixed this issue.

I investigated BL1, BL2, BL2U, BL31 for plat=fvp, and BL2-AT-EL3,
BL31, BL31 for plat=uniphier. I did not see any more unexpected
code addition.

Factor xlat_table sections in linker scripts out into a header file

TF-A has so many linker scripts, at least one linker script for each BL
image, and some platforms have their own ones. They duplicate quite
similar code (and comments).

When we add some changes to linker scripts, we end up with touching
so many files. This is not nice in the maintainability perspective.

When you look at Linux kernel, the common code is macrofied in
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h, which is included from each arch
linker script, arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S

TF-A can follow this approach. Let's factor out the common code into
include/common/bl_common.ld.h

As a start point, this commit factors out the xlat_table section.
