Automatically select initial xlation lookup level

Instead of hardcoding a level 1 table as the base translation level
table, let the code decide which level is the most appropriate given
the virtual address space size.

As the table granularity is 4 KB, this allows the code to select
level 0, 1 or 2 as base level for AArch64. This way, instead of
limiting the virtual address space width to 39-31 bits, widths of
48-25 bit can be used.

For AArch32, this change allows the code to select level 1 or 2
as the base translation level table and use virtual address space
width of 32-25 bits.

Also removed some unused definitions related to translation tables.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#362

Refactor the xlat_tables library code

The AArch32 long descriptor format and the AArch64 descriptor format
correspond to each other which allows possible sharing of xlat_tables
library code between AArch64 and AArch32. This patch refactors the
xlat_tables library code to seperate the common functionality from
architecture specific code. Prior to this patch, all of the xlat_tables
library code were in `lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` file. The refactored code
is now in `lib/xlat_tables/` directory. The AArch64 specific programming
for xlat_tables is in `lib/xlat_tables/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` and the rest
of the code common to AArch64 and AArch32 is in
`lib/xlat_tables/xlat_tables_common.c`. Also the data types used in
xlat_tables library APIs are reworked to make it compatible between AArch64
and AArch32.

The `lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` file now includes the new xlat_tables
library files to retain compatibility for existing platform ports.
The macros related to xlat_tables library are also moved from
`include/lib/aarch64/arch.h` to the header `include/lib/xlat_tables.h`.

NOTE: THE `lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` FILE IS DEPRECATED AND PLATFORM PORTS
ARE EXPECTED TO INCLUDE THE NEW XLAT_TABLES LIBRARY FILES IN THEIR MAKEFILES.
