plat/arm/arm_image_load: refine plat_add_sp_images_load_info
Refine the function plat_add_sp_images_load_info() by saving the previous node and only setting its next link when the current node is valid. This can reduce the check for the next node and simply the total logic.

plat/arm: Remove ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33 relying on RESET_TO_BL31
So far the ARM platform Makefile would require that RESET_TO_BL31 is set when we ask for the ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33 feature. There is no real technical reason for that, and the one place in the code where this was needed has been fixed.
Remove the requirement of those two options to be always enabled together. This enables the direct kernel boot feature for the Foundation FVP (as described in the documentation), which requires a BL1/FIP combination to boot, so cannot use RESET_TO_BL31.

plat/arm: Introduce and use libc_asm.mk makefile

plat/arm: Introduce and use libc_asm.mk makefile
Trace analysis of FVP_Base_AEMv8A 0.0/6063 model running in Aarch32 mode with the build options listed below: TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1 GENERATE_COT=1 ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_ecdsa KEY_ALG=ecdsa ROT_KEY=plat/arm/board/common/rotpk/arm_rotprivk_ecdsa.pem shows that when auth_signature() gets called 71.99% of CPU execution time is spent in memset() function written in C using single byte write operations, see lib\libc\memset.c. This patch introduces new libc_asm.mk makefile which replaces C memset() implementation with assembler version giving the following results: - for Aarch32 in auth_signature() call memset() CPU time reduced to 20.56%. The number of CPU instructions (Inst) executed during TF-A boot stage before start of BL33 in RELEASE builds for different versions is presented in the tables below, where: - C TF-A: existing TF-A C code; - C musl: "lightweight code" C "implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems" https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/string/memset.c - Asm Opt: assemler version from "Arm Optimized Routines" project https://github.com/ARM-software/optimized-routines/blob/ master/string/arm/memset.S - Asm Linux: assembler version from Linux kernel https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm/lib/memset.S - Asm TF-A: assembler version from this patch

This patch modifies 'plat\arm\common\arm_common.mk' by overriding libc.mk makefile with libc_asm.mk and does not effect other platforms.
