Fix the CAS spinlock implementation
...
Make the spinlock implementation use ARMv8.1-LSE CAS instruction based
on a platform build option. The CAS-based implementation used to be
unconditionally selected for all ARM8.1+ platforms.
The previous CAS spinlock implementation had a bug wherein the spin_unlock()
implementation had an `sev` after `stlr` which is not sufficient. A dsb is
needed to ensure that the stlr completes prior to the sev. Having a dsb is
heavyweight and a better solution would be to use load exclusive semantics
to monitor the lock and wake up from wfe when a store happens to the lock.
The patch implements the same.

Remove .arch directives from spinlock.S
...
This patch removes .arch "arm8.1-a" and "armv8-a"
directives which overwrite ASFLAGS_aarch64 option based
on ARM_ARCH_MINOR passed to Makefile and cause
translation errors like
"selected processor does not support `bti jc'"
for armv8.5-a targets when BTI support is enabled.

Add macro to test for minimum architecture version
...
The macro concisely expresses and requires architecture version to be at
least as required by its arguments. This would be useful when extending
Trusted Firmware functionality for future architecture revisions.
Replace similar usage in the current code base with the new macro.

Introduce locking primitives using CAS instruction
...
The ARMv8v.1 architecture extension has introduced support for far
atomics, which includes compare-and-swap. Compare and Swap instruction
is only available for AArch64.
Introduce build options to choose the architecture versions to target
ARM Trusted Firmware:
- ARM_ARCH_MAJOR: selects the major version of target ARM
Architecture. Default value is 8.
- ARM_ARCH_MINOR: selects the minor version of target ARM
Architecture. Default value is 0.
When:
(ARM_ARCH_MAJOR > 8) || ((ARM_ARCH_MAJOR == 8) && (ARM_ARCH_MINOR >= 1)),
for AArch64, Compare and Swap instruction is used to implement spin
locks. Otherwise, the implementation falls back to using
load-/store-exclusive instructions.
Update user guide, and introduce a section in Firmware Design guide to
summarize support for features introduced in ARMv8 Architecture
Extensions.

AArch32: Add support in TF libraries
...
This patch adds AArch32 support to cpu ops, context management,
per-cpu data and spinlock libraries. The `entrypoint_info`
structure is modified to add support for AArch32 register
arguments. The CPU operations for AEM generic cpu in AArch32
mode is also added.

Move spinlock library code to AArch64 folder
...
This patch moves the assembly exclusive lock library code
`spinlock.S` into architecture specific folder `aarch64`.
A stub file which includes the file from new location is
retained at the original location for compatibility. The BL
makefiles are also modified to include the file from the new
location.

Add support to indicate size and end of assembly functions
...
In order for the symbol table in the ELF file to contain the size of
functions written in assembly, it is necessary to report it to the
assembler using the .size directive.
To fulfil the above requirements, this patch introduces an 'endfunc'
macro which contains the .endfunc and .size directives. It also adds
a .func directive to the 'func' assembler macro.
The .func/.endfunc have been used so the assembler can fail if
endfunc is omitted.
Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#295

Move include and source files to logical locations
...
Move almost all system include files to a logical sub-directory
under ./include. The only remaining system include directories
not under ./include are specific to the platform. Move the
corresponding source files to match the include directory
structure.
Also remove pm.h as it is no longer used.
