perf(amu): greatly simplify AMU context management
The current code is incredibly resilient to updates to the spec and has worked quite well so far. However, recent implementations expose a weakness in that this is rather slow. A large part of it is written in assembly, making it opaque to the compiler for optimisations. The future proofness requires reading registers that are effectively `volatile`, making it even harder for the compiler, as well as adding lots of implicit barriers, making it hard for the microarchitecutre to optimise as well.
We can make a few assumptions, checked by a few well placed asserts, and remove a lot of this burden. For a start, at the moment there are 4 group 0 counters with static assignments. Contexting them is a trivial affair that doesn't need a loop. Similarly, there can only be up to 16 group 1 counters. Contexting them is a bit harder, but we can do with a single branch with a falling through switch. If/when both of these change, we have a pair of asserts and the feature detection mechanism to guard us against pretending that we support something we don't.
We can drop contexting of the offset registers. They are fully accessible by EL2 and as such are its responsibility to preserve on powerdown.
Another small thing we can do, is pass the core_pos into the hook. The caller already knows which core we're running on, we don't need to call this non-trivial function again.
Finally, knowing this, we don't really need the auxiliary AMUs to be described by the device tree. Linux doesn't care at the moment, and any information we need for EL3 can be neatly placed in a simple array.
All of this, combined with lifting the actual saving out of assembly, reduces the instructions to save the context from 180 to 40, including a lot fewer branches. The code is also much shorter and easier to read.
Also propagate to aarch32 so that the two don't diverge too much.

perf(mpmm): greatly simplify MPMM enablement
MPMM is a core-specific microarchitectural feature. It has been present in every Arm core since the Cortex-A510 and has been implemented in exactly the same way. Despite that, it is enabled more like an architectural feature with a top level enable flag. This utilised the identical implementation.
This duality has left MPMM in an awkward place, where its enablement should be generic, like an architectural feature, but since it is not, it should also be core-specific if it ever changes. One choice to do this has been through the device tree.
This has worked just fine so far, however, recent implementations expose a weakness in that this is rather slow - the device tree has to be read, there's a long call stack of functions with many branches, and system registers are read. In the hot path of PSCI CPU powerdown, this has a significant and measurable impact. Besides it being a rather large amount of code that is difficult to understand.
Since MPMM is a microarchitectural feature, its correct placement is in the reset function. The essence of the current enablement is to write CPUPPMCR_EL3.MPMM_EN if CPUPPMCR_EL3.MPMMPINCTL == 0. Replacing the C enablement with an assembly macro in each CPU's reset function achieves the same effect with just a single close branch and a grand total of 6 instructions (versus the old 2 branches and 32 instructions).
Having done this, the device tree entry becomes redundant. Should a core that doesn't support MPMM arise, this can cleanly be handled in the reset function. As such, the whole ENABLE_MPMM_FCONF and platform hooks mechanisms become obsolete and are removed.

feat(mpmm): add support for MPMM
MPMM - the Maximum Power Mitigation Mechanism - is an optional microarchitectural feature present on some Armv9-A cores, introduced with the Cortex-X2, Cortex-A710 and Cortex-A510 cores.
MPMM allows the SoC firmware to detect and limit high activity events to assist in SoC processor power domain dynamic power budgeting and limit the triggering of whole-rail (i.e. clock chopping) responses to overcurrent conditions.
This feature is enabled via the `ENABLE_MPMM` build option. Configuration can be done via FCONF by enabling `ENABLE_MPMM_FCONF`, or by via the plaform-implemented `plat_mpmm_topology` function.

feat(amu): enable per-core AMU auxiliary counters
This change makes AMU auxiliary counters configurable on a per-core basis, controlled by `ENABLE_AMU_AUXILIARY_COUNTERS`.
Auxiliary counters can be described via the `HW_CONFIG` device tree if the `ENABLE_AMU_FCONF` build option is enabled, or the platform must otherwise implement the `plat_amu_topology` function.
A new phandle property for `cpu` nodes (`amu`) has been introduced to the `HW_CONFIG` specification to allow CPUs to describe the view of their own AMU:
``` cpu0: cpu@0 { ...
amu = <&cpu0_amu>; }; ```
Multiple cores may share an `amu` handle if they implement the same set of auxiliary counters.
AMU counters are described for one or more AMUs through the use of a new `amus` node:
``` amus { cpu0_amu: amu-0 { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>;
counter@0 { reg = <0>;
enable-at-el3; };
counter@n { reg = <n>;
... }; }; }; ```
This structure describes the **auxiliary** (group 1) AMU counters. Architected counters have architecturally-defined behaviour, and as such do not require DTB entries.
These `counter` nodes support two properties:
- The `reg` property represents the counter register index. - The presence of the `enable-at-el3` property determines whether the firmware should enable the counter prior to exiting EL3.

build(fconf)!: clean up source collection
Including the FCONF Makefile today automatically places the FCONF sources into the source list of the BL1 and BL2 images. This may be undesirable if, for instance, FCONF is only required for BL31.
This change moves the BL1 and BL2 source appends out of the common Makefile to where they are required.
BREAKING CHANGE: FCONF is no longer added to BL1 and BL2 automatically when the FCONF Makefile (`fconf.mk`) is included. When including this Makefile, consider whether you need to add `${FCONF_SOURCES}` and `${FCONF_DYN_SOURCES}` to `BL1_SOURCES` and `BL2_SOURCES`.

fconf: exclude fconf_dyn_cfg_getter.c from BL1_SOURCES
fconf_dyn_cfg_getter.c calls FCONF_REGISTER_POPULATOR(), which populates the fconf_populator structure.

fconf: exclude fconf_dyn_cfg_getter.c from BL1_SOURCES
fconf_dyn_cfg_getter.c calls FCONF_REGISTER_POPULATOR(), which populates the fconf_populator structure.
However, bl1/bl1.ld.S does not have:
__FCONF_POPULATOR_START__ = .; KEEP(*(.fconf_populator)) __FCONF_POPULATOR_END__ = .;
So, this is not linked to bl1.elf
We could change either bl1/bl1.lds.S or lib/fconf/fconf.mk to make them consistent.
I chose to fix up fconf.mk to keep the current behavior.
This is a groundwork to factor out the common code from linker scripts.

fconf: Add dynamic config DTBs info as property
This patch introduces a better separation between the trusted-boot related properties, and the dynamic configuration DTBs loading information.
The dynamic configuration DTBs properties are moved to a new node: `dtb-registry`. All the sub-nodes present will be provided to the dynamic config framework to be loaded. The node currently only contains the already defined configuration DTBs, but can be extended for future features if necessary. The dynamic config framework is modified to use the abstraction provided by the fconf framework, instead of directly accessing the DTBs.
The trusted-boot properties are kept under the "arm,tb_fw" compatible string, but in a separate `tb_fw-config` node. The `tb_fw-config` property of the `dtb-registry` node simply points to the load address of `fw_config`, as the `tb_fw-config` is currently part of the same DTB.

fconf: initial commit
Introduce the Firmware CONfiguration Framework (fconf).
The fconf is an abstraction layer for platform specific data, allowing a "property" to be queried and a value retrieved without the requesting entity knowing what backing store is being used to hold the data.
The default backing store used is C structure. If another backing store has to be used, the platform integrator needs to provide a "populate()" function to fill the corresponding C structure. The "populate()" function must be registered to the fconf framework with the "FCONF_REGISTER_POPULATOR()". This ensures that the function would be called inside the "fconf_populate()" function.
A two level macro is used as getter: - the first macro takes 3 parameters and converts it to a function call: FCONF_GET_PROPERTY(a,b,c) -> a__b_getter(c). - the second level defines a__b_getter(c) to the matching C structure, variable, array, function, etc..
Ex: Get a Chain of trust property: 1) FCONF_GET_PROPERY(tbbr, cot, BL2_id) -> tbbr__cot_getter(BL2_id) 2) tbbr__cot_getter(BL2_id) -> cot_desc_ptr[BL2_id]
