Add PLAT_xxx_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE definitions
Added the definitions `PLAT_PHY_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE` and `PLAT_VIRT_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE` which specify respectively the physical and virtual address space size a platform can use. `ADDR_SPACE_SIZE` is now deprecated. To maintain compatibility, if any of the previous defines aren't present, the value of `ADDR_SPACE_SIZE` will be used instead. For AArch64, register ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1 is checked to calculate the max PA supported by the hardware and to verify that the previously mentioned definition is valid. For AArch32, a 40 bit physical address space is considered. Added asserts to check for overflows. Porting guide updated.
