This SMC is as a means for the image loading state machine to go from
COPYING, COPIED or AUTHENTICATED states to RESET state. Previously, this
was only done when the authentication of an image failed or when the
execution of the image finished.
Documentation updated.

Added checks to FWU_SMC_IMAGE_COPY to prevent loading data into a
memory region where another image data is already loaded.
Without this check, if two images are configured to be loaded in
overlapping memory regions, one of them can be loaded and
authenticated and the copy function is still able to load data from
the second image on top of the first one. Since the first image is
still in authenticated state, it can be executed, which could lead to
the execution of unauthenticated arbitrary code of the second image.
Firmware update documentation updated.

- Clarify the documentation of the 'FWU_SMC_IMAGE_COPY' SMC in the
Firmware Update guide. Also extend the list of pre-conditions to
include the additional input validation implemented by previous
patches.
- Improve documentation of bl1_plat_mem_check() in the porting
guide. It now specifies that the generic FWU code protects
bl1_plat_mem_check() from integer overflows resulting from
the addition of the base address and size passed in arguments.

This patch adds design documentation for the Firmware Update (FWU)
feature in `firmware-update.md`. It provides an overview of FWU,
describes the BL1 SMC interface, and includes diagrams showing
an example FWU boot flow and the FWU state machine.
This patch also updates the existing TF documents where needed:
* `porting-guide.md`
* `user-guide.md`
* `firmware-design.md`
* `rt-svc-writers-guide.md`
* `trusted_board_boot.md`
