Place assembler functions in separate sections

This extends the --gc-sections behaviour to the many assembler
support functions in the firmware images by placing each function
into its own code section. This is achieved by creating a 'func'
macro used to declare each function label.

Use --gc-sections during link

All common functions are being built into all binary images,
whether or not they are actually used. This change enables the
use of -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections
in the compiler and linker to remove unused code and data from
the images.

Build system: Trigger dependency checking only for build targets

The Makefile used to specify a blacklist of rules for which
dependency checking must not be triggered. This list included
cleaning rules only, whereas all other non-build targets (e.g.
help, checkpatch, etc.) should also be included.

This approach seems a bit fragile because it is easy to forget
some non-building rules in the blacklist, as the experience
showed us. It is more robust to specify a whitelist of rules
for which dependency checking is required.

Semihosting: Fix file mode to load binaries on Windows

Trusted firmware binaries loaded via semihosting used to be
opened using 'r' mode (i.e. read mode). This is fine on POSIX
conforming systems (including Linux) but for Windows it also means
that the file should be opened in text mode. 'rb' mode must be
specified instead for binary mode. On POSIX conforming systems,
'rb' mode is equivalent to 'r' mode so it does no harm.

Fix file_to_uuid() function

This patch fixes a bug in the 'file_to_uuid()' function: it used
to cause an exception by dereferencing a null pointer when
a given UUID was not found in the UUID array. The fix is to delete
the final null entry in the UUID array, which is not needed because
the array is statically declared so its size is known at build time.

Implement ARM Standard Service

This patch implements ARM Standard Service as a runtime service and adds
support for call count, UID and revision information SMCs. The existing
PSCI implementation is subsumed by the Standard Service calls and all
PSCI calls are therefore dispatched by the Standard Service to the PSCI
handler.

At present, PSCI is the only specification under Standard Service. Thus
call count returns the number of PSCI calls implemented. As this is the
initial implementation, a revision number of 0.1 is returned for call
revision.

Move architecture timer setup to platform-specific code

generic timer however is not necessarily present on all ARM systems
(although it is architected to be present on all server systems).

This patch moves the timer setup to platform-specific code and updates
the relevant documentation. Also, CNTR.FCREQ is set as the specification
requires the bit corresponding to the counter's frequency to be set when
enabling. Since we intend to use the base frequency, set bit 8.
