Use secure timer to generate S-EL1 interrupts

This patch adds support in the TSP to program the secure physical
generic timer to generate a EL-1 interrupt every half second. It also
adds support for maintaining the timer state across power management
operations. The TSPD ensures that S-EL1 can access the timer by
programming the SCR_EL3.ST bit.

This patch does not actually enable the timer. This will be done in a
subsequent patch once the complete framework for handling S-EL1
interrupts is in place.

Rework 'state' field usage in per-cpu TSP context

This patch lays the foundation for using the per-cpu 'state' field in
the 'tsp_context' structure for other flags apart from the power state
of the TSP.

It allocates 2 bits for the power state, introduces the necessary
macros to manipulate the power state in the 'state' field and
accordingly reworks all use of the TSP_STATE_* states.

It also allocates a flag bit to determine if the TSP is handling a
standard SMC. If this flag is set then the TSP was interrupted due to
non-secure or EL3 interupt depending upon the chosen routing
model. Macros to get, set and clear this flag have been added as
well. This flag will be used by subsequent patches.

Introduce macros to manipulate the SPSR

This patch introduces macros (SPSR_64 and SPSR_32) to
create a SPSR for both aarch32 and aarch64 execution
states. These macros allow the user to set fields
in the SPSR depending upon its format.
The make_spsr() function which did not allow
manipulation of all the fields in the aarch32 SPSR
has been replaced by these new macros.

Rework BL3-1 unhandled exception handling and reporting

This patch implements the register reporting when unhandled exceptions are
taken in BL3-1. Unhandled exceptions will result in a dump of registers
to the console, before halting execution by that CPU. The Crash Stack,
previously called the Exception Stack, is used for this activity.
This stack is used to preserve the CPU context and runtime stack
contents for debugging and analysis.

This also introduces the per_cpu_ptr_cache, referenced by tpidr_el3,
to provide easy access to some of BL3-1 per-cpu data structures.
Initially, this is used to provide a pointer to the Crash stack.

panic() now prints the the error file and line number in Debug mode
and prints the PC value in release mode.

The Exception Stack is renamed to Crash Stack with this patch.
The original intention of exception stack is no longer valid
since we intend to support several valid exceptions like IRQ
and FIQ in the trusted firmware context. This stack is now
utilized for dumping and reporting the system state when a
crash happens and hence the rename.

Reduce deep nesting of header files

Reduce the number of header files included from other header
files as much as possible without splitting the files. Use forward
declarations where possible. This allows removal of some unnecessary
"#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__" statements.

Also, review the .c and .S files for which header files really need
including and reorder the #include statements alphabetically.

Always use named structs in header files

Add tag names to all unnamed structs in header files. This
allows forward declaration of structs, which is necessary to
reduce header file nesting (to be implemented in a subsequent
commit).

Also change the typedef names across the codebase to use the _t
suffix to be more conformant with the Linux coding style. The
coding style actually prefers us not to use typedefs at all but
this is considered a step too far for Trusted Firmware.

Also change the IO framework structs defintions to use typedef'd
structs to be consistent with the rest of the codebase.

Add Test Secure Payload Dispatcher (TSPD) service

This patch adds the TSPD service which is responsible for managing
communication between the non-secure state and the Test Secure Payload
(TSP) executing in S-EL1.

The TSPD does the following:

1. Determines the location of the TSP (BL3-2) image and passes control
to it for initialization. This is done by exporting the 'bl32_init()'
function.

2. Receives a structure containing the various entry points into the TSP
image as a response to being initialized. The TSPD uses this
information to determine how the TSP should be entered depending on
the type of operation.

3. Implements a synchronous mechanism for entering into and returning
from the TSP image. This mechanism saves the current C runtime
context on top of the current stack and jumps to the TSP through an
ERET instruction. The TSP issues an SMC to indicate completion of the
previous request. The TSPD restores the saved C runtime context and
resumes TSP execution.

This patch also introduces a Make variable 'SPD' to choose the specific
SPD to include in the build. By default, no SPDs are included in the
build.
