build: always prefix section names with `.`

Some of our specialized sections are not prefixed with the conventional
period. The compiler uses input section names to derive certain other
section names (e.g. `.rela.text`, `.relacpu_ops`), and these can be
difficult to select in linker scripts when there is a lack of a
delimiter.

This change introduces the period prefix to all specialized section
names.

BREAKING-CHANGE: All input and output linker section names have been
prefixed with the period character, e.g. `cpu_ops` -> `.cpu_ops`.

Merge "Use constant stack size with RECLAIM_INIT_CODE" into integration

Use constant stack size with RECLAIM_INIT_CODE

Currently, when RECLAIM_INIT_CODE is set, the
stacks are scaled to ensure that the entirety
of the init section can be reclaimed as stack.

This causes an issue in lib/psci/aarch64/psci_helpers.S,
where the stack size is used for cache operations in
psci_do_pwrdown_cache_maintenance(). If the stacks
are scaled, then the PSCI code may fail to invalidate
some of the stack memory before power down.

Resizing stacks is also not good for stability in general,
since code that works with a small number of cores may
overflow the stack when the number of cores is increased.

Change to make every stack be PLATFORM_STACK_SIZE big,
and allow the total stack to be smaller than the
init section.

Any pages of the init section not reclaimed as
stack will be set to read-only and execute-never,
for security.

TF-A: Fix BL31 linker script error

The patch fixes BL31 linker script error
"Init code ends past the end of the stacks"
for platforms with number of CPUs less than 4,
which is caused by __STACKS_END__ address being
lower than __INIT_CODE_END__.
The modified BL31 linker script detects such cases
and increases the total amount of stack memory,
setting __STACKS_END__ = __INIT_CODE_END__, and
CPUs' stacks are calculated by BL31 'plat_get_my_stack'
function accordingly. For platforms with more than 4 CPUs
and __INIT_CODE_END__ < __STACKS_END__ stack memory does not
increase and allocated CPUs' stacks match the existing
implementation.
The patch removes exclusion of PSCI initialization
functions from the reclaimed .init section in
'arm_reclaim_init.ld.S' script, which increases the
size of reclaimed memory region.

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.
