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.

refactor(cpus): convert Cortex-A35 to use the errata framework
This involves replacing: * the reset_func with the standard cpu_reset_func_{start,end} to apply errata automatically * the <cpu>_errata_report with the errata_report_shim to report errata automatically ...and for each erratum: * the prologue with the workaround_<type>_start to do the checks and framework registration automatically * the epilogue with the workaround_<type>_end * the checker function with the check_erratum_<type> to make it more descriptive
It is important to note that the errata workaround and checking sequences remain unchanged and preserve their git blame. Testing was conducted by:
* Manual comparison of disassembly of converted functions with non- converted functions.
aarch64-none-elf-objdump -D <TF-A with conversion>/build/../release/bl31/bl31.elf vs aarch64-none-elf-objdump -D <TF-A with clean repo>/build/fvp/release/bl31/bl31.elf
* Build for release with all errata flags enabled and ensure the changes were identical. CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- make PLAT=fvp \ DEBUG=0 HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY=0 \ BL33=<tf-a-tests>/build/fvp/debug/tftf.bin \ all fip ERRATA_A35_855472=1
* Build for debug with all errata enabled and step through ArmDS at reset to ensure all functions are entered.

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.

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.

In the Cortex-A35/A53/A57 CPUs library code, some of the CPU specific reset operations are skipped if they have already been applied in a previous invocation of the reset handler. This precaution is not required, as all these operations can be reapplied safely.
This patch removes the unneeded test-before-set instructions in the reset handler for these CPUs.
