Rationalize console log output

Fix the following issues with the console log output:

* Make sure the welcome string is the first thing in the log output
(during normal boot).
* Prefix each message with the BL image name so it's clear which
BL the output is coming from.
* Ensure all output is wrapped in one of the log output macros so it can
be easily compiled out if necessary. Change some of the INFO() messages
to VERBOSE(), especially in the TSP.
* Create some extra NOTICE() and INFO() messages during cold boot.
* Remove all usage of \r in log output.

Add concept of console output log levels

Create new LOG_LEVEL build option, which controls the amount of
console output compiled into the build. This should be one of the
following:

0 (LOG_LEVEL_NONE)
10 (LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE)
20 (LOG_LEVEL_ERROR)
30 (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING)
40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO)
50 (LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE)

All log output up to and including the log level is compiled into the
build. The default value is 40 in debug builds and 20 in release
builds.

Complement the existing INFO, WARN and ERROR console output macros
with NOTICE and VERBOSE macros, which are conditionally compiled in
depending on the value of LOG_LEVEL.

Secure RAM at address 0x0400_0000 is defined as FVP_TRUSTED_SRAM
Secure RAM at address 0x0600_0000 is defined as FVP_TRUSTED_DRAM

BLn_BASE and BLn_LIMIT definitions have been updated and are based on
these new memory regions.

The available memory for each bootloader in the linker script is
defined by BLn_BASE and BLn_LIMIT, instead of the complete memory
region.

TZROM_BASE/SIZE and TZRAM_BASE/SIZE are no longer required as part of
the platform porting.

FVP common definitions are defined in fvp_def.h while platform_def.h
contains exclusively (with a few exceptions) the definitions that are
mandatory in the porting guide. Therefore, platform_def.h now includes
fvp_def.h instead of the other way around.

Porting guide has been updated to reflect these changes.

Support asynchronous method for BL3-2 initialization

This patch adds support for BL3-2 initialization by asynchronous
method where BL3-1 transfers control to BL3-2 using world switch.
After BL3-2 initialization, it transfers control to BL3-3 via SPD
service handler. The SPD service handler initializes the CPU context
to BL3-3 entrypoint depending on the return function indentifier from
TSP initialization.

Rework the TSPD setup code

There is no mechanism which allows the TSPD to specify what SPSR to
use when entering BL3-2 instead of BL3-3. This patch divides the
responsibility between tspd_setup() and tspd_init() for initializing
the TSPD and TSP to support the alternate BL3-2 initialization flow
where BL3-1 handsover control to BL3-2 instead of BL3-3.
SPSR generated by TSPD for TSP is preserved due the new division of
labour which fixes #174.

This patch also moves the cpu_context initialization code from
tspd_setup() to tspd_init() immediately before entering the TSP.
Instead tspd_setup() updates the BL3-2 entrypoint info structure
with the state required for initializing the TSP later.

Call platform_is_primary_cpu() only from reset handler

The purpose of platform_is_primary_cpu() is to determine after reset
(BL1 or BL3-1 with reset handler) if the current CPU must follow the
cold boot path (primary CPU), or wait in a safe state (secondary CPU)
until the primary CPU has finished the system initialization.

This patch removes redundant calls to platform_is_primary_cpu() in
subsequent bootloader entrypoints since the reset handler already
guarantees that code is executed exclusively on the primary CPU.

Additionally, this patch removes the weak definition of
platform_is_primary_cpu(), so the implementation of this function
becomes mandatory. Removing the weak symbol avoids other
bootloaders accidentally picking up an invalid definition in case the
porting layer makes the real function available only to BL1.

The define PRIMARY_CPU is no longer mandatory in the platform porting
because platform_is_primary_cpu() hides the implementation details
(for instance, there may be platforms that report the primary CPU in
a system register). The primary CPU definition in FVP has been moved
to fvp_def.h.

The porting guide has been updated accordingly.

Optimize EL3 register state stored in cpu_context structure

This patch further optimizes the EL3 register state stored in
cpu_context. The 2 registers which are removed from cpu_context are:

* cntfrq_el0 is the system timer register which is writable
only in EL3 and it can be programmed during cold/warm boot. Hence
it need not be saved to cpu_context.

* cptr_el3 controls access to Trace, Floating-point, and Advanced
SIMD functionality and it is programmed every time during cold
and warm boot. The current BL3-1 implementation does not need to
modify the access controls during normal execution and hence
they are expected to remain static.

Rework the crash reporting in BL3-1 to use less stack

This patch reworks the crash reporting mechanism to further
optimise the stack and code size. The reporting makes use
of assembly console functions to avoid calling C Runtime
to report the CPU state. The crash buffer requirement is
reduced to 64 bytes with this implementation. The crash
buffer is now part of per-cpu data which makes retrieving
the crash buffer trivial.

Also now panic() will use crash reporting if
invoked from BL3-1.
