Build option to include AArch32 registers in cpu context

The system registers that are saved and restored in CPU context include
AArch32 systems registers like SPSR_ABT, SPSR_UND, SPSR_IRQ, SPSR_FIQ,
DACR32_EL2, IFSR32_EL2 and FPEXC32_EL2. Accessing these registers on an
AArch64-only (i.e. on hardware that does not implement AArch32, or at
least not at EL1 and higher ELs) platform leads to an exception. This patch
introduces the build option `CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS` to specify whether to
include these AArch32 systems registers in the cpu context or not. By default
this build option is set to 1 to ensure compatibility. AArch64-only platforms
must set it to 0. A runtime check is added in BL1 and BL31 cold boot path to
verify this.

Enable asynchronous abort exceptions during boot

Asynchronous abort exceptions generated by the platform during cold boot are
not taken in EL3 unless SCR_EL3.EA is set.

Therefore EA bit is set along with RES1 bits in early BL1 and BL31 architecture
initialisation. Further write accesses to SCR_EL3 preserve these bits during
cold boot.

A build flag controls SCR_EL3.EA value to keep asynchronous abort exceptions
being trapped by EL3 after cold boot or not.

For further reference SError Interrupts are also known as asynchronous external
aborts.

On Cortex-A53 revisions below r0p2, asynchronous abort exceptions are taken in
EL3 whatever the SCR_EL3.EA value is.

Ensure BL31 does not print to boot console by default

It is not ideal for BL31 to continue to use boot console at
runtime which could be potentially uninitialized. This patch
introduces a new optional platform porting API
`bl31_plat_runtime_setup()` which allows the platform to perform
any BL31 runtime setup just prior to BL31 exit during cold boot.
The default weak implementation of this function will invoke
`console_uninit()` which will suppress any BL31 runtime logs.

On the ARM Standard platforms, there is an anomaly that
the boot console will be reinitialized on resumption from
system suspend in `arm_system_pwr_domain_resume()`. This
will be resolved in the following patch.

NOTE: The default weak definition of `bl31_plat_runtime_setup()`
disables the BL31 console. To print the BL31 runtime
messages, platforms must override this API and initialize a
runtime console.

Initialize VTTBR_EL2 when bypassing EL2

In the situation that EL1 is selected as the exception level for the
next image upon BL31 exit for a processor that supports EL2, the
context management code must configure all essential EL2 register
state to ensure correct execution of EL1.

VTTBR_EL2 should be part of this set of EL2 registers because:
- The ARMv8-A architecture does not define a reset value for this
register.
- Cache maintenance operations depend on VTTBR_EL2.VMID even when
non-secure EL1&0 stage 2 address translation are disabled.

This patch initializes the VTTBR_EL2 register to 0 when bypassing EL2
to address this issue. Note that this bug has not yet manifested
itself on FVP or Juno because VTTBR_EL2.VMID resets to 0 on the
Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57.

Introduce COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU build option

This patch introduces a new build option named COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU,
which allows platforms that only release a single CPU out of reset to
slightly optimise their cold boot code, both in terms of code size
and performance.

COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU defaults to 0, which assumes that the platform
may release several CPUs out of reset. In this case, the cold reset
code needs to coordinate all CPUs via the usual primary/secondary
CPU distinction.

If a platform guarantees that only a single CPU will ever be released
out of reset, there is no need to arbitrate execution ; the notion of
primary and secondary CPUs itself no longer exists. Such platforms
may set COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU to 1 in order to compile out the
primary/secondary CPU identification in the cold reset code.

All ARM standard platforms can release several CPUs out of reset
so they use COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=0. However, on CSS platforms like
Juno, bringing up more than one CPU at reset should only be attempted
when booting an EL3 payload, as it is not fully supported in the
normal boot flow.

For platforms using COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=1, the following 2 platform
APIs become optional:
- plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup();
- plat_is_my_cpu_primary().
The Porting Guide has been updated to reflect that.

User Guide updated as well.

Remove the IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option

The IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option enables a feature where the interrupt
ID of the highest priority pending interrupt is passed as a parameter to the
interrupt handler registered for that type of interrupt. This additional read
of highest pending interrupt id from GIC is problematic as it is possible that
the original interrupt may get deasserted and another interrupt of different
type maybe become the highest pending interrupt. Hence it is safer to prevent
such behaviour by removing the IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option.

The `id` parameter of the interrupt handler `interrupt_type_handler_t` is
now made a reserved parameter with this patch. It will always contain
INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE.

Replace build macro WARN_DEPRECATED with ERROR_DEPRECATED

This patch changes the build time behaviour when using deprecated API within
Trusted Firmware. Previously the use of deprecated APIs would only trigger a
build warning (which was always treated as a build error), when
WARN_DEPRECATED = 1. Now, the use of deprecated C declarations will always
trigger a build time warning. Whether this warning is treated as error or not
is determined by the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED which is disabled by default.
When the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED=1, the invocation of deprecated API or
inclusion of deprecated headers will result in a build error.

Also the deprecated context management helpers in context_mgmt.c are now
conditionally compiled depending on the value of ERROR_DEPRECATED flag
so that the APIs themselves do not result in a build error when the
ERROR_DEPRECATED flag is set.

NOTE: Build systems that use the macro WARN_DEPRECATED must migrate to
using ERROR_DEPRECATED, otherwise deprecated API usage will no longer
trigger a build error.

IMF: postpone SCR_EL3 update if context is not initialized

The set_routing_model() function in the Interrupt Management
Framework calls the context management library to update the
SCR_EL3 register. This context management library assumes that
the context has been previously initialized. Consequently, if
a Secure Payload Dispatcher (SPD) tries to set the routing model
before initializing the context, the system will fail (in debug
mode, an assertion will be raised).

This patch fixes the issue by checking if the context has been
initialized before updating SCR_EL3. If a valid context is not
available, SCR_EL3 update will be done when the SPD calls the
context initialization function. This function will call
get_scr_el3_from_routing_model() to obtain the SCR_EL3 value.
If the SPD does not call the context initialization function
then it is SPD's responsibility to obtain SCR_EL3 from the IMF
and update the context accordingly.

Introduce print_entry_point_info() function

This patch introduces a new function called 'print_entry_point_info'
that prints an entry_point_t structure for debugging purposes.
As such, it can be used to display the entry point address, SPSR and
arguments passed from a firmware image to the next one.

This function is now called in the following images transitions:
- BL1 to BL2
- BL1 to BL31
- BL31 to the next image (typically BL32 or BL33)

The following changes have been introduced:

- Fix the output format of the SPSR value : SPSR is a 32-bit value,
not a 64-bit one.

- Print all arguments values.
The entry_point_info_t structure allows to pass up to 8 arguments.
In most cases, only the first 2 arguments were printed.
print_entry_point_info() now prints all of them as 'VERBOSE'
traces.
