rpi: Implement PSCI CPU_OFF
We simulate the PSCI CPU_OFF operation by reseting the core via RMR.
For secondaries, that already puts them in the holding pen waiting for a
"warm boot" request as part of PSCI CPU_ON. For the BSP, we have to add
logic to distinguish a regular boot from a CPU_OFF state, where, like the
secondaries, the BSP needs to wait foor a "warm boot" request as part
of CPU_ON.
Testing done:
- ACS suite now passes more tests (since it repeatedly
calls code on secondaries via CPU_ON).
- Linux testing including offlining/onlineing CPU0, e.g.
"echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online".

rpi: Allow using PL011 UART for RPi3/RPi4
The Broadcom 283x SoCs feature multiple UARTs: the mostly used
"Mini-UART", which is an 8250 compatible IP, and at least one PL011.
While the 8250 is usually used for serial console purposes, it suffers
from a design flaw, where its clock depends on the VPU clock, which can
change at runtime. This will reliably mess up the baud rate.
To avoid this problem, people might choose to use the PL011 UART for
the serial console, which is pin-mux'ed to the very same GPIO pins.
This can be done by adding "miniuart-bt" to the "dtoverlay=" line in
config.txt.
To prepare for this situation, use the newly gained freedom of sharing
one console_t pointer across different UART drivers, to introduce the
option of choosing the PL011 for the console.
This is for now hard-coded to choose the Mini-UART by default.
A follow-up patch will introduce automatic detection.

rpi4: Cleanup memory regions, move pens to first page
Now that we have the SMP pens in the first page of DRAM, we can get rid
of all the fancy RPi3 memory regions that our RPi4 port does not really
need. This avoids using up memory all over the place, restricting ATF
to just run in the first 512KB of DRAM.
Remove the now unused regions. This also moves the SMP pens into our
first memory page (holding the firmware magic), where the original
firmware put them, but where there is also enough space for them.
Since the pens will require code execution privileges, we amend the
memory attributes used for that page to include write and execution
rights.

rpi4: Accommodate "armstub8.bin" header at the beginning of BL31 image
The Raspberry Pi GPU firmware checks for a magic value at offset 240
(0xf0) of the armstub8.bin image it loads. If that value matches,
it writes the kernel load address and the DTB address into subsequent
memory locations.
We can use these addresses to avoid hardcoding these values into the BL31
image, to make it more flexible and a drop-in replacement for the
official armstub8.bin.
Reserving just 16 bytes at offset 240 of the final image file is not easily
possible, though, as this location is in the middle of the generic BL31
entry point code.
However we can prepend an extra section before the actual BL31 image, to
contain the magic and addresses. This needs to be 4KB, because the
actual BL31 entry point needs to be page aligned.
Use the platform linker script hook that the generic code provides, to
add an almost empty 4KB code block before the entry point code. The very
first word contains a branch instruction to jump over this page, into
the actual entry code.
This also gives us plenty of room for the SMP pens later.
