TBB: add non-volatile counter support
This patch adds support for non-volatile counter authentication to
the Authentication Module. This method consists of matching the
counter values provided in the certificates with the ones stored
in the platform. If the value from the certificate is lower than
the platform, the boot process is aborted. This mechanism protects
the system against rollback.

The TBBR CoT has been updated to include this method as part of the
authentication process. Two counters are used: one for the trusted
world images and another for the non trusted world images.

** NEW PLATFORM APIs (mandatory when TBB is enabled) **

int plat_get_nv_ctr(void *cookie, unsigned int *nv_ctr);

    This API returns the non-volatile counter value stored
    in the platform. The cookie in the first argument may be
    used to select the counter in case the platform provides
    more than one (i.e. TBSA compliant platforms must provide
    trusted and non-trusted counters). This cookie is specified
    in the CoT.

int plat_set_nv_ctr(void *cookie, unsigned int nv_ctr);

    This API sets a new counter value. The cookie may be
    used to select the counter to be updated.

An implementation of these new APIs for ARM platforms is also
provided. The values are obtained from the Trusted Non-Volatile
Counters peripheral. The cookie is used to pass the extension OID.
This OID may be interpreted by the platform to know which counter
must return. On Juno, The trusted and non-trusted counter values
have been tied to 31 and 223, respectively, and cannot be modified.

** IMPORTANT **

THIS PATCH BREAKS THE BUILD WHEN TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT IS ENABLED. THE
NEW PLATFORM APIs INTRODUCED IN THIS PATCH MUST BE IMPLEMENTED IN
ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY BUILD TF.
