Add Firmware Image Package creation tool

This tool can be used to create a Firmware Image Packages (FIP). These
FIPs store a combined set of firmware images with a Table of Contents
(ToC) that can be loaded by the firmware from platform storage.

- Add uuid.h from FreeBSD.
- Use symbolic links to shared headers otherwise unwanted headers and
definitions are pulled in.
- A FIP is created as part of the default FVP build.
- A BL3-3 image(e.g. UEFI) must be provided.

Implement load_image in terms of IO abstraction

The modified implementation uses the IO abstraction rather than
making direct semi-hosting calls. The semi-hosting driver is now
registered for the FVP platform during initialisation of each boot
stage where it is used. Additionally, the FVP platform includes a
straightforward implementation of 'plat_get_image_source' which
provides a generic means for the 'load_image' function to determine
how to access the image data.

Add IO abstraction framework

This is intended primarily for use as a storage abstraction.
It allows operations such as image-loading to be implemented
in a platform-independent fashion. Each platform registers
a set of IO drivers during initialisation. The platform must
also provide a function that will return a device and a specifier
that can be used to access specified content.

Clients of the API will primarily use device and entity handles.
The term "entity" is deliberately vague, to allow for different
representations of content accessed using different types of
specifier, but will often be interpreted as a "file" where the
specifier will normally be its path.

This commit builds, but is intended to be paired with a sample
implementation of "load_image" using a semi-hosting driver on FVP.

Allow style checking of tree and local changes

New phony Makefile targets have been added:

* checkcodebase
* checkpatch

The checkcodebase target will run a Linux style compliance check over the
entire codebase, and honours the V=1 Makefile verbose setting and so will
show more information when this is enabled.

If the local directory is a git checkout then the output of git ls-files is
used to decide which files to test for compliance. If the local directory
is not under git control then a 'best attempt' is made, but in this case it
should be noted that it is possible for additional non-codebase files to be
tested, so care should be taken when parsing the output.

The checkpatch target will compare local changes against the git origin/master
to allow issues with the last set of changes to be identified. To override
the change comparision location, set the BASE_COMMIT variable to your
desired git branch.

Both targets rely on the Linux source tree script checkpatch.pl to do the
syntax checking, and expects that the CHECKPATCH environment variable points
to the location of this file.

Notes on the usage of these targets have been added to the contributing.md
and docs/user-guide.md text files.

fvp: clear a pending cluster power off request

The last CPU in a cluster is responsible for issuing the cluster power
down request to the FVP power controller. If another CPU in this
cluster wakes up before the last CPU enters WFI then the cluster power
down request remains pending. If this request is not cancelled and the
newly woken up CPU enters a simple WFI later, the power controller
powers the cluster down. This leads to unpredictable behaviour.

This patch fixes this issue by ensuring that the first CPU to wake up
in a cluster writes its MPIDR to the power controller's PPONR. This
cancels any pending cluster power down request.

psci: fix affinity level upgrade issue

The psci implementation does not track target affinity level requests
specified during cpu_suspend calls correctly as per the following
example.

1. cpu0.cluster0 calls cpu_suspend with the target affinity level as 0
2. Only the cpu0.cluster0 is powered down while cluster0 remains
powered up
3. cpu1.cluster0 calls cpu_off to power itself down to highest
possible affinity level
4. cluster0 will be powered off even though cpu0.cluster0 does not
allow cluster shutdown

This patch introduces reference counts at affinity levels > 0 to track
the number of cpus which want an affinity instance at level X to
remain powered up. This instance can be turned off only if its
reference count is 0. Cpus still undergo the normal state transitions
(ON, OFF, ON_PENDING, SUSPEND) but the higher levels can only be
either ON or OFF depending upon their reference count.

The above issue is thus fixed as follows:

1. cluster0's reference count is incremented by two when cpu0 and cpu1
are initially powered on.

2. cpu0.cluster0 calls cpu_suspend with the target affinity level as
0. This does not affect the cluster0 reference count.

3. Only the cpu0.cluster0 is powered down while cluster0 remains
powered up as it has a non-zero reference count.

4. cpu1.cluster0 call cpu_off to power itself down to highest possible
affinity level. This decrements the cluster0 reference count.

5. cluster0 is still not powered off since its reference count will at
least be 1 due to the restriction placed by cpu0.

Do not trap access to floating point registers

Traps when accessing architectural features are disabled by clearing bits
in CPTR_EL3 during early boot, including accesses to floating point
registers. The value of this register was previously undetermined, causing
unwanted traps to EL3. Future EL3 code (for example, context save/restore
code) may use floating point registers, although they are not used by current
code.

Also, the '-mgeneral-regs-only' flag is enabled in the GCC settings to
prevent generation of code that uses floating point registers.
