Upgrade to the latest and greatest 2.x release of Mbed TLS library
(i.e. v2.28.0) to take advantage of their bug fixes.
Note that the Mbed TLS project published version 3.x some time
ago. However, as this is a major release with API breakages, upgrading
to 3.x might require some more involved changes in TF-A, which we are
not ready to do. We shall upgrade to mbed TLS 3.x after the v2.7
release of TF-A.

Right now, TF-A documentation recommends downloading Arm compilers
from:
https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-a/downloads
However, this page is now deprecated, as indicated by the banner at
the top of the page. When navigating to the new recommended page, one
can see the following note, which provides the rationale for the
deprecation:
GNU Toolchain releases from Arm were published previously as two
separate releases - one for A-profile and the other for R & M
profiles (GNU Toolchain for A-profile processors and GNU Arm
Embedded Toolchain).
Arm GNU Toolchain releases unifies these two into a single release
and the previous way of releases therefore have been
discontinued. However, the previous releases will continue to be
available for reference.
This patch updates the link to the new recommended place for compiler
downloads.

Two issues in documentation were identified after the release.
This patch fixes these typos.
1. Matternhorn ELP CPU was made available through v2.5 release, not
Matternhorn CPU
2. We had upgraded TF-A to use GCC 10.2 toolchain family and used this
toolchain for release testing

To avoid the mistake fixed by the previous commit, ensure users install
the Node.js dependencies without polluting the lock file by passing
`--no-save` to the `npm install` line.

Husky is a tool for managing Git hooks within the repository itself.
Traditionally, commit hooks need to be manually installed on a per-user
basis, but Husky allows us to install these hooks either automatically
when `npm install` is invoked within the repository, or manually with
`npx husky install`.
This will become useful for us in the next few patches when we begin
introducing tools for enforcing a commit message style.

Updated the documentation with latest Mbed TLS supported
version i.e. Mbed TLS v2.26.0
Fixes available in this version of Mbed TLS mainly affect
key generation/writing and certificates writing, which
are features used in the cert_create tool.

The User Guide document has grown organically over time and
now covers a wide range of topics, making it difficult to
skim read and extract information from. Currently, it covers
these topics and maybe a couple more:
- Requirements (hardware, tools, libs)
- Checking out the repo
- Basic build instructions
- A comprehensive list of build flags
- FIP packaging
- Building specifically for Juno
- Firmware update images
- EL3 payloads
- Preloaded BL33 boot flow
- Running on FVPs
- Running on Juno
I have separated these out into a few groups that become new
documents. Broadly speaking, build instructions for the tools,
for TF-A generally, and for specific scenarios are separated.
Content relating to specific platforms (Juno and the FVPs are
Arm-specific platforms, essentially) has been moved into the
documentation that is specific to those platforms, under
docs/plat/arm.
