Use abspath to dereference $BUILD_BASE

If the user tries to change BUILD_BASE to put the build products outside
the build tree the compile will fail due to hard coded assumptions that
$BUILD_BASE is a relative path. Fix by using $(abspath $(BUILD_BASE))
to rationalize to an absolute path every time and remove the relative
path assumptions.

This patch also adds documentation that BUILD_BASE can be specified by
the user.

Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with compiler-builtin __ASSEMBLER__

NOTE: __ASSEMBLY__ macro is now deprecated in favor of __ASSEMBLER__.

All common C compilers predefine a macro called __ASSEMBLER__ when
preprocessing a .S file. There is no reason for TF-A to define it's own
__ASSEMBLY__ macro for this purpose instead. To unify code with the
export headers (which use __ASSEMBLER__ to avoid one extra dependency),
let's deprecate __ASSEMBLY__ and switch the code base over to the
predefined standard.

Romlib makefile refactoring and script rewriting

The features of the previously existing gentbl, genvar and genwrappers
scripts were reimplemented in the romlib_generator.py Python script.
This resulted in more readable and maintainable code and the script
introduces additional features that help dependency handling in
makefiles. The assembly templates were separated from the script logic
and were collected in the 'templates' directory.

The targets and their dependencies were reorganized in the makefile and
the dependency handling of included index files is possible now.
Incremental build is available in case of modifying the index files.

Introduce BTI support in ROMLIB

When TF-A is compiled with BTI enabled, the branches in the ROMLIB
jumptable must be preceded by a "bti j" instruction.

Moreover, when the additional "bti" instruction is inserted, the
jumptable entries have a distance of 8 bytes between them instead of 4.
Hence, the wrappers are also modified accordinly.

If TF-A is compiled without BTI enabled, the ROMLIB jumptable and
wrappers are generated as before.

ROMLIB bug fixes

Fixed the below bugs:
1) Bug related to build flag V=1: if the flag was V=0, building with
ROMLIB would fail.
2) Due to a syntax bug in genwrappers.sh, index file entries marked as
"patch" or "reserved" were ignored.
3) Added a prepending hash to constants that genwrappers is generating.
4) Due to broken dependencies, currently the inclusion functionality is
intentionally not utilised. This is why the contents of romlib/jmptbl.i
have been copied to platform specific jmptbl.i files. As a result of the
broken dependencies, when changing the index files, e.g. patching
functions, a clean build is always required. This is a known issue that
will be fixed in the future.
