refactor(console): disable getc() by default

The ability to read a character from the console constitutes an attack
vector into TF-A, as it gives attackers a means to inject arbitrary
data into TF-A. It is dangerous to keep that feature enabled if not
strictly necessary, especially in production firmware builds.

Thus, we need a way to disable this feature. Moreover, when it is
disabled, all related code should be eliminated from the firmware
binaries, such that no remnant/dead getc() code remains in memory,
which could otherwise be used as a gadget as part of a bigger security
attack.

This patch disables getc() feature by default. For legitimate getc()
use cases [1], it can be explicitly enabled by building TF-A with
ENABLE_CONSOLE_GETC=1.

The following changes are introduced when getc() is disabled:

- The multi-console framework no longer provides the console_getc()
function.

- If the console driver selected by the platform attempts to register
a getc() callback into the multi-console framework then TF-A will
now fail to build.

If registered through the assembly function finish_console_register():
- On AArch64, you'll get:
Error: undefined symbol CONSOLE_T_GETC used as an immediate value.
- On AArch32, you'll get:
Error: internal_relocation (type: OFFSET_IMM) not fixed up

If registered through the C function console_register(), this requires
populating a struct console with a getc field, which will trigger:
error: 'console_t' {aka 'struct console'} has no member named 'getc'

- All console drivers which previously registered a getc() callback
have been modified to do so only when ENABLE_CONSOLE_GETC=1.

[1] Example of such use cases would be:
- Firmware recovery: retrieving a golden BL2 image over the console in
order to repair a broken firmware on a bricked board.
- Factory CLI tool: Drive some soak tests through the console.

Don't return error information from console_flush

And from crash_console_flush.

We ignore the error information return by console_flush in _every_
place where we call it, and casting the return type to void does not
work around the MISRA violation that this causes. Instead, we collect
the error information from the driver (to avoid changing that API), and
don't return it to the caller.
