This patch introduces a new BL handover interface. It essentially allows
passing 4 arguments between the different BL stages. Effort has been made
so as to be compatible with the previous handover interface. The previous
blx_early_platform_setup() platform API is now deprecated and the new
blx_early_platform_setup2() variant is introduced. The weak compatiblity
implementation for the new API is done in the `plat_bl_common.c` file.
Some of the new arguments in the new API will be reserved for generic
code use when dynamic configuration support is implemented. Otherwise
the other registers are available for platform use.

Introduce new build option ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. It enables
compilation of all BL images with one of the GCC -fstack-protector-*
options.
A new platform function plat_get_stack_protector_canary() is introduced.
It returns a value that is used to initialize the canary for stack
corruption detection. Returning a random value will prevent an attacker
from predicting the value and greatly increase the effectiveness of the
protection.
A message is printed at the ERROR level when a stack corruption is
detected.
To be effective, the global data must be stored at an address
lower than the base of the stacks. Failure to do so would allow an
attacker to overwrite the canary as part of an attack which would void
the protection.
FVP implementation of plat_get_stack_protector_canary is weak as
there is no real source of entropy on the FVP. It therefore relies on a
timer's value, which could be predictable.

There are many instances in ARM Trusted Firmware where control is
transferred to functions from which return isn't expected. Such jumps
are made using 'bl' instruction to provide the callee with the location
from which it was jumped to. Additionally, debuggers infer the caller by
examining where 'lr' register points to. If a 'bl' of the nature
described above falls at the end of an assembly function, 'lr' will be
left pointing to a location outside of the function range. This misleads
the debugger back trace.
This patch defines a 'no_ret' macro to be used when jumping to functions
from which return isn't expected. The macro ensures to use 'bl'
instruction for the jump, and also, for debug builds, places a 'nop'
instruction immediately thereafter (unless instructed otherwise) so as
to leave 'lr' pointing within the function range.

This patch adds generic changes in BL2 to support AArch32 state.
New AArch32 specific assembly/C files are introduced and
some files are moved to AArch32/64 specific folders.
BL2 for AArch64 is refactored but functionally identical.
BL2 executes in Secure SVC mode in AArch32 state.
