From now on, platform_def.h must include any header with definitions that
are platform-specific (like arm_def.h) and the included headers mustn't
include back platform_def.h, and shouldn't be used by other files. Only
platform_def.h should be included in other files. This will ensure that all
needed definitions are present, rather than needing to include all the
headers in all the definitions' headers just in case.
This also prevents problems like cyclic dependencies.

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.
The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:
- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}
The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).
For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928d5 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3a2 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").
This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca33988 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.
Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

This patch introduces the driver for Shared-Data-Structure (SDS)
framework which will be used for communication between SCP and AP
CPU. The SDS framework is intended to replace the Boot-Over-MHU
(BOM) protocol used currently for the communication
