There was already a rudimentary mechanism to detect whether BL1
R/W data was loaded at the top or bottom of memory. Basically,
- either BL1 was loaded at the very end of the trusted RAM
- in all other cases BL1 was considered sitting at the bottom of
the memory and the memory usage structure was updated accordingly,
potentially resulting in critical memory waste.
For instance, if BL1 R/W base address was set to
(TZRAM_END - 4096 - bl1_size), it would virtually occupy the whole
memory.
This patch improves the mechanism to detect the location of BL1
to avoid such scenarios.

This concept is no longer required since we now support loading of
images at fixed addresses only.
The image loader now automatically detects the position of the image
inside the current memory layout and updates the layout such that
memory fragmentation is minimised.
The 'attr' field of the meminfo data structure, which used to hold
the bottom/top loading information, has been removed. Also the 'next'
field has been removed as it wasn't used anywhere.
The 'init_bl2_mem_layout()' function has been moved out of common
code and put in BL1-specific code. It has also been renamed into
'bl1_init_bl2_mem_layout'.

FVP specific files and functions containing the word "plat" have been
renamed to use the word "fvp" to distinguish them from the common
platform functionality and porting functions.
