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.
Discussed on TF-A mailing list here: https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/archives/list/tf-a@lists.trustedfirmware.org/thread/YS7F6RCNTWBTEOBLAXIRTXWIOYINVRW7/

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.

console: 16550: Prepare for skipping initialisation
On some platforms the UART might have already been initialised, for instance by firmware running before TF-A or by a separate management processor. In this case it would not be need to initialise it again (doing so could create spurious characters). But more importantly this saves us from knowing the right baudrate and the right base clock rate for the UART. This can lead to more robust and versatile firmware builds.
Allow to skip the 16550 UART initialisation and baud rate divisor programming, by interpreting an input clock rate of "0" to signify this case. This will just skip the call to console_16550_core_init, but still will register the console properly.
Users should just pass 0 as the second parameter, the baudrate (third parameter) will then be ignored as well.
Fix copy & paste typos in comments for the console_16550_register() function on the way.

Sanitise includes across codebase
Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.
The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:
- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH} - include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}
The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two of them).
For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were called the same way: e0ea0928d5b7 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar problems: 46f9b2c3a282 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").
This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca33988b9 ("Move include and source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that this creates problems.
Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

Multi-console: Deprecate the `finish_console_register` macro
The `finish_console_register` macro is used by the multi console framework to register the `console_t` driver callbacks. It relied on weak references to the `ldr` instruction to populate 0 to the callback in case the driver has not defined the appropriate function. Use of `ldr` instruction to load absolute address to a reference makes the binary position dependant. These instructions should be replaced with adrp/adr instruction for position independant executable(PIE). But adrp/adr instructions don't work well with weak references as described in GNU ld bugzilla issue 22589.
This patch defines a new version of `finish_console_register` macro which can spcify which driver callbacks are valid and deprecates the old one. If any of the argument is not specified, then the macro populates 0 for that callback. Hence the functionality of the previous deprecated macro is preserved. The USE_FINISH_CONSOLE_REG_2 define is used to select the new variant of the macro and will be removed once the deprecated variant is removed.
All the upstream console drivers have been migrated to use the new macro in this patch.
NOTE: Platforms be aware that the new variant of the `finish_console_register` should be used and the old variant is deprecated.
