fix(arm): don't override the gic redistributor frames
Patch 75170704c made an oversight - it would provide a default value for the gicr_frames variable but would always set to it, regardless of whether the platform might want to use something different. The thinking was to provide a default and then let each platform override it, however the order was swapped.
To fix this, put the gic_set_gicr_frames() in bl31_platform_setup() rather than arm_bl31_platform_setup(). This way, platforms that use the default can still enjoy it automatically pulled in from common code, platforms that need fully custom gicr_frames can simply set it, and platforms that override bl31_platform_setup() for unrelated reasons only have to redo the call to gic_set_gicr_frames(). This has a tiny benefit over the old approach in that there will never be 2 gicr_frames arrays.

The nuvoton platform seems to have copied arm_def.h and would have been missed at some point. Update that too.

refactor(gicv3): clarify redistributor base address usage with USE_GIC_DRIVER=3
The GICv3 driver has 2 methods of discovering the redistributors: a) via setting gicr_base - done at boot and assumes all GICR frames are contiguous. This is the original method.
b) via gicv3_rdistif_probe() - called from platform code and requires gicr_base == 0. It relaxes the requirement for frames to be contiguous, like in a multichip configuration, and defers the discovery to core bringup. This was introduced later.
Configurations possible with option a) are also possible with option b) with only slightly different behaviour. USE_GIC_DRIVER=3 inherited option b) from plat_gicv3_base.c and as such option a) is unusable. However, it is unclear from code how this should be used. Clarify this by requiring platforms initialise with gic_set_gicr_frames() and adding relevant comments.
Also rename plat_arm_override_gicr_frames() to gic_set_gicr_frames() as this is not plat arm specific and a part of the generic GIC driver.

refactor(gic): promote most of the GIC driver to common code
More often than not, Arm based systems include some revision of a GIC. There are two ways of adding support for them in platform code - calling the top-level helpers from plat/arm/common/arm_gicvX.c or by using the driver directly. Both of these methods allow for a high degree of customisation - most functions are defined to be weak and there are no calls to any of them in generic code.
As it turns out, requirements around those GICs are largely the same. Platforms that use arm_gicvX.c use the helpers identically among each other. Platforms that use the driver directly tend to end up with calls that look a lot like the arm_gicvX.c helpers and the weakness of the functions are never exercised.
All of this results in a lot of code duplication to do what is essentially the same thing. Even though it's not a lot of code, when multiplied among many platforms it becomes significant and makes refactoring it quite difficult. It's also bug prone since the steps are a little convoluted and things are likely to work even with subtle errors (see 50009f61177421118f42d6a000611ba0e613d54b).
So promote as much of the GIC to be called from common code. Do the setup in bl31_main() and have every PSCI method do the state management directly instead of delegating it to the platform hooks. We can base this implementation on arm_gicvX.c since they already offer logical names and have worked quite well so far with minimal changes.
The main benefit of doing this is reduced code duplication. If we assume that, outside of some platform setup, GIC management is identical, then a platform can add support by telling the build system, regardless of GIC revision. The other benefit is performance - BL31 and PSCI already know the core_pos and they can pass it as an argument instead of having to call plat_my_core_pos(). Now, the only platform specific GIC actions necessary are the saving and restoring of context on entering and exiting a power domain. The PSCI library does not keep track of this so it is unable perform it itself. The routines themselves are also provided.
For compatibility all of this is hidden behind a build flag. Platforms are encouraged to adopt this driver, but it would not be practical to convert and validate every GIC based platform.
This patch renames the functions in question to follow the gic_<function>() convention. This allows the names to be version agnostic.
Finally, drop the weak definitions - they are unused, likely to remain so, and can be added back if the need arises.

- Removing platform dependencies from libc modules. - Replacing panicking with actual error handling. - Debug macros are included indirectly from assert.h. Removing "platform_def.h" from assert.h and adding "common/debug.h" where the macros are used. - Removing hack for fixing PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT to 40. Instead removing assert with expression, as this does not provide additional information.

plat/arm: fvp: Protect GICR frames for fused/unused cores
Currently, BLs are mapping the GIC memory region as read-write for all cores on boot-up.
This opens up the security hole where the active core can write the GICR frame of fused/inactive core. To avoid this issue, disable the GICR frame of all inactive cores as below:
1. After primary CPU boots up, map GICR region of all cores as read-only. 2. After primary CPU boots up, map its GICR region as read-write and initialize its redistributor interface. 3. After secondary CPU boots up, map its GICR region as read-write and initialize its redistributor interface. 4. All unused/fused core's redistributor regions remain read-only and write attempt to such protected regions results in an exception.
As mentioned above, this patch offers only the GICR memory-mapped region protection considering there is no facility at the GIC IP level to avoid writing the redistributor area.
These changes are currently done in BL31 of Arm FVP and guarded under the flag 'FVP_GICR_REGION_PROTECTION'.
As of now, this patch is tested manually as below: 1. Disable the FVP cores (core 1, 2, 3) with core 0 as an active core. 2. Verify data abort triggered by manually updating the ‘GICR_CTLR’ register of core 1’s(fused) redistributor from core 0(active).
