Apply workaround for errata 813419 of Cortex-A57

TLBI instructions for EL3 won't have the desired effect under specific
circumstances in Cortex-A57 r0p0. The workaround is to execute DSB and
TLBI twice each time.

Even though this errata is only needed in r0p0, the current errata
framework is not prepared to apply run-time workarounds. The current one
is always applied if compiled in, regardless of the CPU or its revision.

This errata has been enabled for Juno.

The `DSB` instruction used when initializing the translation tables has
been changed to `DSB ISH` as an optimization and to be consistent with
the barriers used for the workaround.

Forbid block descriptors in initial xlat table levels

In AArch64, depending on the granularity of the translation tables,
level 0 and/or level 1 of the translation tables may not support block
descriptors, only table descriptors.

This patch introduces a check to make sure that, even if theoretically
it could be possible to create a block descriptor to map a big memory
region, a new subtable will be created to describe its mapping.

Add PLAT_xxx_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE definitions

Added the definitions `PLAT_PHY_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE` and
`PLAT_VIRT_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE` which specify respectively the physical
and virtual address space size a platform can use.

`ADDR_SPACE_SIZE` is now deprecated. To maintain compatibility, if any
of the previous defines aren't present, the value of `ADDR_SPACE_SIZE`
will be used instead.

For AArch64, register ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1 is checked to calculate the
max PA supported by the hardware and to verify that the previously
mentioned definition is valid. For AArch32, a 40 bit physical
address space is considered.

Added asserts to check for overflows.

Assert correct granularity when mapping a PA

Each translation table level entry can only map a given virtual
address onto physical addresses of the same granularity. For example,
with the current configuration, a level 2 entry maps blocks of 2 MB,
so the physical address must be aligned to 2 MB. If the address is not
aligned, the MMU will just ignore the lower bits.

This patch adds an assertion to make sure that physical addresses are
always aligned to the correct boundary.

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

Rework type usage in Trusted Firmware

This patch reworks type usage in generic code, drivers and ARM platform files
to make it more portable. The major changes done with respect to
type usage are as listed below:

* Use uintptr_t for storing address instead of uint64_t or unsigned long.
* Review usage of unsigned long as it can no longer be assumed to be 64 bit.
* Use u_register_t for register values whose width varies depending on
whether AArch64 or AArch32.
* Use generic C types where-ever possible.

In addition to the above changes, this patch also modifies format specifiers
in print invocations so that they are AArch64/AArch32 agnostic. Only files
related to upcoming feature development have been reworked.

Introduce utils.h header file

This patch introduces a new header file: include/lib/utils.h.
Its purpose is to provide generic macros and helper functions that
are independent of any BL image, architecture, platform and even
not specific to Trusted Firmware.

For now, it contains only 2 macros: ARRAY_SIZE() and
IS_POWER_OF_TWO(). These were previously defined in bl_common.h and
xlat_tables.c respectively.

bl_common.h includes utils.h to retain compatibility for platforms
that relied on bl_common.h for the ARRAY_SIZE() macro. Upstream
platform ports that use this macro have been updated to include
utils.h.

xlat lib: Introduce MT_EXECUTE/MT_EXECUTE_NEVER attributes

This patch introduces the MT_EXECUTE/MT_EXECUTE_NEVER memory mapping
attributes in the translation table library to specify the
access permissions for instruction execution of a memory region.
These new attributes should be used only for normal, read-only
memory regions. For other types of memory, the translation table
library still enforces the following rules, regardless of the
MT_EXECUTE/MT_EXECUTE_NEVER attribute:

- Device memory is always marked as execute-never.
- Read-write normal memory is always marked as execute-never.

Fix computation of L1 bitmask in the translation table lib

This patch fixes the computation of the bitmask used to isolate
the level 1 field of a virtual address. The whole computation needs
to work on 64-bit values to produce the correct bitmask value.
XLAT_TABLE_ENTRIES_MASK being a C constant, it is a 32-bit value
so it needs to be extended to a 64-bit value before it takes part
in any other computation.

This patch fixes this bug by casting XLAT_TABLE_ENTRIES_MASK as
an unsigned long long.

Note that this bug doesn't manifest itself in practice because
address spaces larger than 39 bits are not yet supported in the
Trusted Firmware.

Limit support for region overlaps in xlat_tables

The only case in which regions can now overlap is if they are
identity mapped or they have the same virtual to physical address
offset (identity mapping is just a particular case of the latter).
They must overlap completely (i.e. one of them must be completely
inside the other one) and not cover the same area.

This allow future enhancements to the xlat_tables library without
having to support unnecessarily complex edge cases.

Outer regions are now sorted by mmap_add_region() before inner
regions with the same base virtual address for consistency: all
regions contained inside another one must be placed after the outer
one in the list.

If an inner region has the same attributes as the outer ones it will
be merged when creating the tables with init_xlation_table(). This
cannot be done as regions are added because there may be cases where
adding a region makes previously mergeable regions no longer
mergeable.

If the attributes of an inner region are different than the outer
region, new pages will be generated regardless of how "restrictive"
they are. For example, RO memory is more restrictive than RW. The
old implementation would give priority to RO if there is an overlap,
the new one doesn't.

NOTE: THIS IS THEORETICALLY A COMPATABILITY BREAK FOR PLATFORMS THAT
USE THE XLAT_TABLES LIBRARY IN AN UNEXPECTED WAY. PLEASE RAISE A
TF-ISSUE IF YOUR PLATFORM IS AFFECTED.

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.
