The Getting started section is very difficult to follow. Building the
fip comes before building the files it needs, the BL33 requirement is
given in a somewhat hand wavy way, and the Arm Developer website
download provides a lot of targets and the guide is not clear which ones
are needed on download.
Swapping the initial build and supporting tools sections makes the flow
more natural and the supporting tools section then becomes clear.
Explicitly mentioning the GCC targets avoids confusion for people less
familiar with the project (eg. new starters).

OpenSSL 3.0 is a pre-requisite since v2.7 and can be installed
on the operating system by updating the previous version.
However, this may not be convenient for everyone, as some may
want to keep their previous versions of OpenSSL.
This update on the docs shows that there is an alternative to
install OpenSSL on the system by using a local build of
OpenSSL 3.0 and pointing both the build and run commands to
that build.

The User Guide document has grown organically over time and
now covers a wide range of topics, making it difficult to
skim read and extract information from. Currently, it covers
these topics and maybe a couple more:
- Requirements (hardware, tools, libs)
- Checking out the repo
- Basic build instructions
- A comprehensive list of build flags
- FIP packaging
- Building specifically for Juno
- Firmware update images
- EL3 payloads
- Preloaded BL33 boot flow
- Running on FVPs
- Running on Juno
I have separated these out into a few groups that become new
documents. Broadly speaking, build instructions for the tools,
for TF-A generally, and for specific scenarios are separated.
Content relating to specific platforms (Juno and the FVPs are
Arm-specific platforms, essentially) has been moved into the
documentation that is specific to those platforms, under
docs/plat/arm.
