refactor(psci): unify coherency exit between AArch64 and AArch32
The procedure is fairly simple: if we have hardware assisted coherency, call into the cpu driver and let it do its thing. If we don't, then we must turn data caches off, handle the confusion that causes with the stack, and call into the cpu driver which will flush the caches that need flushing.
On AArch32 the above happens in common code. On AArch64, however, the turning off of the caches happens in the cpu driver. Since we're dealing with the stack, we must exercise control over it and implement this in assembly. But as the two implementations are nominally different (in the ordering of operations), the part that is in assembly is quite large as jumping back to C to handle the difference might involve the stack.
Presumably, the AArch difference was introduced in order to cater for a possible implementation where turning off the caches requires an IMP DEF sequence. Well, Arm no longer makes cores without hardware assisted coherency, so this eventually is not possible.
So take this part out of the cpu driver and put it into common code, just like in AArch32. With this, there is no longer a need call prepare_cpu_pwr_dwn() in a different order either - we can delay it a bit to happen after the stack management. So the two AArch-s flows become identical. We can convert prepare_cpu_pwr_dwn() to C and leave psci_do_pwrdown_cache_maintenance() only to exercise control over stack.

perf(cpus): make reset errata do fewer branches
Errata application is painful for performance. For a start, it's done when the core has just come out of reset, which means branch predictors and caches will be empty so a branch to a workaround function must be fetched from memory and that round trip is very slow. Then it also runs with the I-cache off, which means that the loop to iterate over the workarounds must also be fetched from memory on each iteration.
We can remove both branches. First, we can simply apply every erratum directly instead of defining a workaround function and jumping to it. Currently, no errata that need to be applied at both reset and runtime, with the same workaround function, exist. If the need arose in future, this should be achievable with a reset + runtime wrapper combo.
Then, we can construct a function that applies each erratum linearly instead of looping over the list. If this function is part of the reset function, then the only "far" branches at reset will be for the checker functions. Importantly, this mitigates the slowdown even when an erratum is disabled.
The result is ~50% speedup on N1SDP and ~20% on AArch64 Juno on wakeup from PSCI calls that end in powerdown. This is roughly back to the baseline of v2.9, before the errata framework regressed on performance (or a little better). It is important to note that there are other slowdowns since then that remain unknown.

perf(cpus): inline the reset function
Similar to the cpu_rev_var and cpu_ger_rev_var functions, inline the call_reset_handler handler. This way we skip the costly branch at no extra cost as this is the only place where this is called.
While we're at it, drop the options for CPU_NO_RESET_FUNC. The only cpus that need that are virtual cpus which can spare the tiny bit of performance lost. The rest are real cores which can save on the check for zero.
Now is a good time to put the assert for a missing cpu in the get_cpu_ops_ptr function so that it's a bit better encapsulated.

FVP_Base_AEMv8A platform: Fix cache maintenance operations
This patch fixes FVP_Base_AEMv8A model hang issue with ARMv8.4+ with cache modelling enabled configuration. Incorrect L1 cache flush operation to PoU, using CLIDR_EL1 LoUIS field, which is required by the architecture to be zero for ARMv8.4-A with ARMv8.4-S2FWB feature is replaced with L1 to L2 and L2 to L3 (if L3 is present) cache flushes. FVP_Base_AEMv8A model can be configured with L3 enabled by setting `cluster0.l3cache-size` and `cluster1.l3cache-size` to non-zero values, and presence of L3 is checked in `aem_generic_core_pwr_dwn` function by reading CLIDR_EL1.Ctype3 field value.

Make errata reporting mandatory for CPU files
Previously the errata reporting was optional for CPU operation files and this was achieved by making use of weak reference to resolve to 0 if the symbol is not defined. This is error prone when adding new CPU operation files and weak references are problematic when fixing up dynamic relocations. Hence this patch removes the weak reference and makes it mandatory for the CPU operation files to define the errata reporting function.

Add provision to extend CPU operations at more levels
Various CPU drivers in ARM Trusted Firmware register functions to handle power-down operations. At present, separate functions are registered to power down individual cores and clusters.
This scheme operates on the basis of core and cluster, and doesn't cater for extending the hierarchy for power-down operations. For example, future CPUs might support multiple threads which might need powering down individually.
This patch therefore reworks the CPU operations framework to allow for registering power down handlers on specific level basis. Henceforth:
- Generic code invokes CPU power down operations by the level required.
- CPU drivers explicitly mention CPU_NO_RESET_FUNC when the CPU has no reset function.
- CPU drivers register power down handlers as a list: a mandatory handler for level 0, and optional handlers for higher levels.
All existing CPU drivers are adapted to the new CPU operations framework without needing any functional changes within.
Also update firmware design guide.

Fix recursive crash prints on FVP AEM model
This patch fixes an issue in the cpu specific register reporting of FVP AEM model whereby crash reporting itself triggers an exception thus resulting in recursive crash prints. The input to the 'size_controlled_print' in the crash reporting framework should be a NULL terminated string. As there were no cpu specific register to be reported on FVP AEM model, the issue was caused by passing 0 instead of NULL terminated string to the above mentioned function.

Add support to indicate size and end of assembly functions
In order for the symbol table in the ELF file to contain the size of functions written in assembly, it is necessary to report it to the assembler using the .size directive.
To fulfil the above requirements, this patch introduces an 'endfunc' macro which contains the .endfunc and .size directives. It also adds a .func directive to the 'func' assembler macro.
The .func/.endfunc have been used so the assembler can fail if endfunc is omitted.

Add CPU specific power management operations
This patch adds CPU core and cluster power down sequences to the CPU specific operations framework introduced in a earlier patch. Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57 and generic AEM sequences have been added. The latter is suitable for the Foundation and Base AEM FVPs. A pointer to each CPU's operations structure is saved in the per-cpu data so that it can be easily accessed during power down seqeunces.
An optional platform API has been introduced to allow a platform to disable the Accelerator Coherency Port (ACP) during a cluster power down sequence. The weak definition of this function (plat_disable_acp()) does not take any action. It should be overriden with a strong definition if the ACP is present on a platform.
