Fixes in CPU specific operations framework doc 

This patch fixes a couple of issues in the "CPU specific operations
framework" section in the Firmware Design document.

 * Fix broken link to the CPU Specific Build Macros document.

 * Fix the path to the cortex_a53.S file.

 * Fix power levels terminology.

The CPU specific files in `lib/cpus` export a `cpu_ops` data structure with
suitable handlers for that CPU. For example, `lib/cpus/cortex_a53.S` exports
the `cpu_ops` for Cortex-A53 CPU. According to the platform configuration,

retrieved during power down sequences.
The PSCI service, upon receiving a power down request, determines the highest
affinity level at which to execute power down sequence for a particular CPU and
power level at which to execute power down sequence for a particular CPU and
invokes the corresponding 'prepare' power down handler in the CPU specific
operations framework. For example, when a CPU executes a power down for affinity

level 0, the `prepare_core_pwr_dwn()` retrieves the `cpu_ops` pointer from the
per-CPU data and the corresponding `core_pwr_dwn()` is invoked. Similarly when
a CPU executes power down at affinity level 1, the `prepare_cluster_pwr_dwn()`
