This patch enables BL2 to run in root world (EL3) which is
needed as per the security model of RME-enabled systems.
Using the existing BL2_AT_EL3 TF-A build option is not convenient
because that option assumes TF-A BL1 doesn't exist, which is not
the case for RME-enabled systems. For the purposes of RME, we use
a normal BL1 image but we also want to run BL2 in EL3 as normally as
possible, therefore rather than use the special bl2_entrypoint
function in bl2_el3_entrypoint.S, we use a new bl2_entrypoint
function (in bl2_rme_entrypoint.S) which doesn't need reset or
mailbox initialization code seen in the el3_entrypoint_common macro.
The patch also cleans up bl2_el3_entrypoint.S, moving the
bl2_run_next_image function to its own file to avoid duplicating
code.

Only BL32 (SP_min) is supported at the moment, BL1 and BL2_AT_EL3 are just
stubbed with _pie_fixup_size=0.
The changes are an adaptation for AARCH32 on what has been done for
PIE support on AARCH64.
The RELA_SECTION is redefined for AARCH32, as the created section is
.rel.dyn and the symbols are .rel*.

aarch32 CPUs speculatively execute instructions following a
ERET as if it was not a jump instruction. This could lead to
cache-based side channel vulnerabilities. The software fix is
to place barrier instructions following ERET.
The counterpart patch for aarch64 is merged:

Prior to entry into BL32 we set the SPSR by way of msr spsr, r1.
This unfortunately only writes the bits f->[31:24] and c->[7:0].
This patch updates the bl2 exit path to write the x->[15:8] and c->[7:0]
fields of the SPSR. For the purposes of initial setup of the SPSR the x and
c fields should be sufficient and importantly will capture the necessary
lower-order control bits that f:c alone do not.
This is important to do to ensure the SPSR is set to the mode the platform
intends prior to performing an eret.

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.
The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:
- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}
The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).
For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928d5 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3a2 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").
This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca33988 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.
Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

When using BL2_EL3, we need to ensure that lr_svc is
properly given to bl32 as it was previously made by bl1.

This patch enables BL2 to execute at the highest exception level
without any dependancy on TF BL1. This enables platforms which already
have a non-TF Boot ROM to directly load and execute BL2 and subsequent BL
stages without need for BL1. This is not currently possible because
BL2 executes at S-EL1 and cannot jump straight to EL3.
