PSCI: Build option to enable D-Caches early in warmboot

This patch introduces a build option to enable D-cache early on the CPU
after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not require
interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single cluster
platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path enables
D-caches immediately after enabling MMU.

Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#456

Add support for GCC stack protection

Introduce new build option ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. It enables
compilation of all BL images with one of the GCC -fstack-protector-*
options.

A new platform function plat_get_stack_protector_canary() is introduced.
It returns a value that is used to initialize the canary for stack
corruption detection. Returning a random value will prevent an attacker
from predicting the value and greatly increase the effectiveness of the
protection.

A message is printed at the ERROR level when a stack corruption is
detected.

To be effective, the global data must be stored at an address
lower than the base of the stacks. Failure to do so would allow an
attacker to overwrite the canary as part of an attack which would void
the protection.

FVP implementation of plat_get_stack_protector_canary is weak as
there is no real source of entropy on the FVP. It therefore relies on a
timer's value, which could be predictable.

Introduce locking primitives using CAS instruction

The ARMv8v.1 architecture extension has introduced support for far
atomics, which includes compare-and-swap. Compare and Swap instruction
is only available for AArch64.

Introduce build options to choose the architecture versions to target
ARM Trusted Firmware:

- ARM_ARCH_MAJOR: selects the major version of target ARM
Architecture. Default value is 8.

- ARM_ARCH_MINOR: selects the minor version of target ARM
Architecture. Default value is 0.

When:

(ARM_ARCH_MAJOR > 8) || ((ARM_ARCH_MAJOR == 8) && (ARM_ARCH_MINOR >= 1)),

for AArch64, Compare and Swap instruction is used to implement spin
locks. Otherwise, the implementation falls back to using
load-/store-exclusive instructions.

Update user guide, and introduce a section in Firmware Design guide to
summarize support for features introduced in ARMv8 Architecture
Extensions.

fiptool: support --align option to add desired alignment to image offset

The current fiptool packs all the images without any padding between
them. So, the offset to each image has no alignment. This is not
efficient, for example, when the FIP is read from a block-oriented
device.

For example, (e)MMC is accessed by block-addressing. The block size
is 512 byte. So, the best case is each image is aligned by 512 byte
since the DMA engine can transfer the whole of the image to its load
address directly. The worst case is the offset does not have even
DMA-capable alignment (this is where we stand now). In this case,
we need to transfer every block to a bounce buffer, then do memcpy()
from the bounce buffer to our final destination. At least, this
should work with the abstraction by the block I/O layer, but the
CPU-intervention for the whole data transfer makes it really slow.

This commit adds a new option --align to the fiptool. This option,
if given, requests the tool to align each component in the FIP file
by the specified byte. Also, add a new Make option FIP_ALIGN for
easier access to this feature; users can give something like
FIP_ALIGN=512 from the command line, or add "FIP_ALIGN := 512" to
their platform.mk file.
