Each translation table level entry can only map a given virtual
address onto physical addresses of the same granularity. For example,
with the current configuration, a level 2 entry maps blocks of 2 MB,
so the physical address must be aligned to 2 MB. If the address is not
aligned, the MMU will just ignore the lower bits.
This patch adds an assertion to make sure that physical addresses are
always aligned to the correct boundary.

Commit e8719552a2 removed some definitions related to translation
tables from the xlat_tables.h header file, based on the assumption
that they weren't used by any platform. These are actually used by
some partners so this patch restores them.

Instead of hardcoding a level 1 table as the base translation level
table, let the code decide which level is the most appropriate given
the virtual address space size.
As the table granularity is 4 KB, this allows the code to select
level 0, 1 or 2 as base level for AArch64. This way, instead of
limiting the virtual address space width to 39-31 bits, widths of
48-25 bit can be used.
For AArch32, this change allows the code to select level 1 or 2
as the base translation level table and use virtual address space
width of 32-25 bits.
Also removed some unused definitions related to translation tables.

This patch adds translation library supports for AArch32 platforms.
The library only supports long descriptor formats for AArch32.
The `enable_mmu_secure()` enables the MMU for secure world with
`TTBR0` pointing to the populated translation tables.

This patch introduces the MT_EXECUTE/MT_EXECUTE_NEVER memory mapping
attributes in the translation table library to specify the
access permissions for instruction execution of a memory region.
These new attributes should be used only for normal, read-only
memory regions. For other types of memory, the translation table
library still enforces the following rules, regardless of the
MT_EXECUTE/MT_EXECUTE_NEVER attribute:
- Device memory is always marked as execute-never.
- Read-write normal memory is always marked as execute-never.

As of commit e1ea9290bb, if the attributes of an inner memory region
are different than the outer region, new page tables are generated
regardless of how "restrictive" they are. This patch removes an
out-dated comment still referring to the old priority system based
on which attributes were more restrictive.

The AArch32 long descriptor format and the AArch64 descriptor format
correspond to each other which allows possible sharing of xlat_tables
library code between AArch64 and AArch32. This patch refactors the
xlat_tables library code to seperate the common functionality from
architecture specific code. Prior to this patch, all of the xlat_tables
library code were in `lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` file. The refactored code
is now in `lib/xlat_tables/` directory. The AArch64 specific programming
for xlat_tables is in `lib/xlat_tables/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` and the rest
of the code common to AArch64 and AArch32 is in
`lib/xlat_tables/xlat_tables_common.c`. Also the data types used in
xlat_tables library APIs are reworked to make it compatible between AArch64
and AArch32.
The `lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` file now includes the new xlat_tables
library files to retain compatibility for existing platform ports.
The macros related to xlat_tables library are also moved from
`include/lib/aarch64/arch.h` to the header `include/lib/xlat_tables.h`.
NOTE: THE `lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` FILE IS DEPRECATED AND PLATFORM PORTS
ARE EXPECTED TO INCLUDE THE NEW XLAT_TABLES LIBRARY FILES IN THEIR MAKEFILES.
