This patch introduces the reworked exception handling logic which lays
the foundation for accessing runtime services in later patches. The
type of an exception has a greater say in the way it is
handled. SP_EL3 is used as the stack pointer for:
1. Determining the type of exception and handling the unexpected ones
on the exception stack
2. Saving and restoring the essential general purpose and system
register state after exception entry and prior to exception exit.
SP_EL0 is used as the stack pointer for handling runtime service
requests e.g. SMCs. A new structure for preserving general purpose
register state has been added to the 'cpu_context' structure. All
assembler ensures that it does not use callee saved registers
(x19-x29). The C runtime preserves them across functions calls. Hence
EL3 code does not have to save and restore them explicitly.
Since the exception handling framework has undergone substantial change,
the changes have been kept in separate files to aid readability. These
files will replace the existing ones in subsequent patches.

The GICv3 distributor can have more ports than CPUs are available in
the system. Probe all re-distributors and use the matching affinity
levels as specified by each core and re-distributor to decide which
re-distributor to use with which CPU core.
If a core cannot be matched with a re-distributor, the core panics and
is placed in an endless loop.

- Add 'debug.h' with INFO, WARN and ERROR macros.
- This prints the specified message with the appropriate tag.
- INFO and WARN messages are only displayed when building with
the DEBUG flag set. Error messages are always printed.
