This commit streamlines directory creation by introducing a single
pattern rule to automatically make directories for which there is a
dependency.
We currently use several macros to generate rules to create directories
upon dependence, which is a significant amount of code and a lot of
redundancy. The rule introduced by this change represents a catch-all:
any rule dependency on a path ending in a forward slash is automatically
created.
Now, rules can rely on an unordered dependency (`|`) on `$$(@D)/` which,
when secondary expansion is enabled, expands to the directory of the
target being built, e.g.:
build/main.o: main.c | $$(@D)/ # automatically creates `build/`

This change introduces a few helper variables for dealing with verbose
and silent build modes: `silent`, `verbose`, `q` and `s`.
The `silent` and `verbose` variables are boolean values determining
whether the build system has been configured to run silently or
verbosely respectively (i.e. with `--silent` or `V=1`).
These two modes cannot be used together - if `silent` is truthy then
`verbose` is always falsy. As such:
make --silent V=1
... results in a silent build.
In addition to these boolean variables, we also introduce two new
variables - `s` and `q` - for use in rule recipes to conditionally
suppress the output of commands.
When building silently, `s` expands to a value which disables the
command that follows, and `q` expands to a value which supppresses
echoing of the command:
$(s)echo 'This command is neither echoed nor executed'
$(q)echo 'This command is executed but not echoed'
When building verbosely, `s` expands to a value which disables the
command that follows, and `q` expands to nothing:
$(s)echo 'This command is neither echoed nor executed'
$(q)echo 'This command is executed and echoed'
In all other cases, both `s` and `q` expand to a value which suppresses
echoing of the command that follows:
$(s)echo 'This command is executed but not echoed'
$(q)echo 'This command is executed but not echoed'
The `s` variable is predominantly useful for `echo` commands, where you
always want to suppress echoing of the command itself, whilst `q` is
more useful for all other commands.

The Makefile rule for the libwrappers object files places a dependency
on a timestamp file. This timestamp file is created by the recipe that
generates the libwrappers sources, and was presumably introduced to
indicate to Make that all of the source files are generated
simultaneously by that rule.
Instead, we can use a grouped target rule, which uses `&:` instead of
`:`. This communicates to Make that all of the targets listed are
generated at once.
To demonstrate, the following two Makefile rules differ in their
behaviour:
a.x b.x c.x: # targets may be updated independently
... # generate a.x, b.x and c.x
a.x b.x c.x &: # all targets are updated at once
... # generate a.x, b.x and c.x
While both recipes do generate all three files, only the second rule
communicates this fact to Make. As such, Make can reason that if one of
the files is up to date then all of them are, and avoid re-running the
rule for any generated file that it has not already run it for.

The `romlib_generator.py` script may generate duplicate wrapper sources,
which is undesirable when using them to generate Makefile rules as Make
will warn about duplicated targets.
This change sorts the wrapper sources returned from this script, which
has the effect of also de-duplicating them.

Most developers run the `clean`, `checkpatch` and other similar targets
without specifying any other additional build options. When combined
with a flow where the developer passes `CROSS_COMPILE` or `CC`
explicitly, and where the default-configured tools are not on the PATH,
these targets will warn about unrecognized toolchain tools.
This change is a workaround for this whereby the toolchain makefile is
not expanded unless a target *not* named `*clean`, `check*` `doc` or
`*tool` has been specified.

When configuring GNU GCC as the C compiler, we usually use the GNU BFD
linker directly to link by default. However, this complicates things
because we also need to support LTO, which can only be done when linking
is done via the C compiler, and we cannot change the linker later on if
some other part of the build system wants to enable LTO.
This change migrates the default choice of linker to GCC if the C
compiler is GCC, in order to enable this use-case. This should have no
impact on anything outside of the build system, as by default GCC merely
acts as a wrapper around BFD.

This change migrates the values of `CC`, `CPP`, `AS` and other toolchain
variables to the new `$(toolchain)-$(tool)` variables, which were
introduced by the toolchain refactor patch. These variables should be
equivalent to the values that they're replacing.

This change refactors how we identify the toolchain, with the ultimate
aim of eventually cleaning up the various mechanisms that we employ to
configure default tools, identify the tools in use, and configure
toolchain flags.
To do this, we introduce three new concepts in this change:
- Toolchain identifiers,
- Tool class identifiers, and
- Tool identifiers.
Toolchain identifiers identify a configurable chain of tools targeting
one platform/machine/architecture. Today, these are:
- The host machine, which receives the `host` identifier,
- The AArch32 architecture, which receives the `aarch32` identifier, and
- The AArch64 architecture, which receivs the `aarch64` identifier.
The tools in a toolchain may come from different vendors, and are not
necessarily expected to come from one single toolchain distribution. In
most cases it is perfectly valid to mix tools from different toolchain
distributions, with some exceptions (notably, link-time optimization
generally requires the compiler and the linker to be aligned).
Tool class identifiers identify a class (or "role") of a tool. C
compilers, assemblers and linkers are all examples of tool classes.
Tool identifiers identify a specific tool recognized and supported by
the build system. Every tool that can make up a part of a toolchain must
receive a tool identifier.
These new identifiers can be used to retrieve information about the
toolchain in a more standardized fashion.
For example, logic in a Makefile that should only execute when the C
compiler is GNU GCC can now check the tool identifier for the C compiler
in the relevant toolchain:
ifeq ($($(ARCH)-cc-id),gnu-gcc)
...
endif

The `gcc-ar` wrapper exists to make it easier to support LTO on some
versions of GCC. The two commands are compatible, accepting exactly the
same arguments, so this change moves us to `gcc-ar` to ensure that we
are configuring LTO correctly.

assembly files using the assembler directly. This change migrates it to

We're a bit inconsistent about which tool we use to preprocess source
files; in some places we use `$(CC) -E` whilst in others we use `cpp`.
This change forces all invocations of the C preprocessor to use the
first scheme, which ensures that the preprocessor behaves the same way
as the C compiler used when compiling C source files.

If the user tries to change BUILD_BASE to put the build products outside
the build tree the compile will fail due to hard coded assumptions that
$BUILD_BASE is a relative path. Fix by using $(abspath $(BUILD_BASE))
to rationalize to an absolute path every time and remove the relative
path assumptions.
This patch also adds documentation that BUILD_BASE can be specified by
the user.

NOTE: __ASSEMBLY__ macro is now deprecated in favor of __ASSEMBLER__.
All common C compilers predefine a macro called __ASSEMBLER__ when
preprocessing a .S file. There is no reason for TF-A to define it's own
__ASSEMBLY__ macro for this purpose instead. To unify code with the
export headers (which use __ASSEMBLER__ to avoid one extra dependency),
let's deprecate __ASSEMBLY__ and switch the code base over to the
predefined standard.

The features of the previously existing gentbl, genvar and genwrappers
scripts were reimplemented in the romlib_generator.py Python script.
This resulted in more readable and maintainable code and the script
introduces additional features that help dependency handling in
makefiles. The assembly templates were separated from the script logic
and were collected in the 'templates' directory.
The targets and their dependencies were reorganized in the makefile and
the dependency handling of included index files is possible now.
Incremental build is available in case of modifying the index files.

When TF-A is compiled with BTI enabled, the branches in the ROMLIB
jumptable must be preceded by a "bti j" instruction.
Moreover, when the additional "bti" instruction is inserted, the
jumptable entries have a distance of 8 bytes between them instead of 4.
Hence, the wrappers are also modified accordinly.
If TF-A is compiled without BTI enabled, the ROMLIB jumptable and
wrappers are generated as before.

Fixed the below bugs:
1) Bug related to build flag V=1: if the flag was V=0, building with
ROMLIB would fail.
2) Due to a syntax bug in genwrappers.sh, index file entries marked as
"patch" or "reserved" were ignored.
3) Added a prepending hash to constants that genwrappers is generating.
4) Due to broken dependencies, currently the inclusion functionality is
intentionally not utilised. This is why the contents of romlib/jmptbl.i
have been copied to platform specific jmptbl.i files. As a result of the
broken dependencies, when changing the index files, e.g. patching
functions, a clean build is always required. This is a known issue that
will be fixed in the future.

Romlib is a new image that is stored in ROM and contains the code of
several libraries that can be shared between different images. All
the functions within in the library are accessed using a jump table
which allows to update the romlib image whithout changing the binary
compatibility. This jump table can be also stored in RAM and it can
allow to patch a romlib with potential bugs fixes..
