plat/arm: Introduce and use libc_asm.mk makefile

Trace analysis of FVP_Base_AEMv8A 0.0/6063 model
running in Aarch32 mode with the build options
listed below:
TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1 GENERATE_COT=1
ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_ecdsa KEY_ALG=ecdsa
ROT_KEY=plat/arm/board/common/rotpk/arm_rotprivk_ecdsa.pem
shows that when auth_signature() gets called
71.99% of CPU execution time is spent in memset() function
written in C using single byte write operations,
see lib\libc\memset.c.
This patch introduces new libc_asm.mk makefile which
replaces C memset() implementation with assembler
version giving the following results:
- for Aarch32 in auth_signature() call memset() CPU time
reduced to 20.56%.
The number of CPU instructions (Inst) executed during
TF-A boot stage before start of BL33 in RELEASE builds
for different versions is presented in the tables below,
where:
- C TF-A: existing TF-A C code;
- C musl: "lightweight code" C "implementation of the
  standard library for Linux-based systems"
https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/string/memset.c
- Asm Opt: assemler version from "Arm Optimized Routines"
  project
https://github.com/ARM-software/optimized-routines/blob/
master/string/arm/memset.S
- Asm Linux: assembler version from Linux kernel
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm/lib/memset.S
- Asm TF-A: assembler version from this patch

This patch modifies 'plat\arm\common\arm_common.mk'
by overriding libc.mk makefile with libc_asm.mk and
does not effect other platforms.
