The block operations were trying to optimize the number of memory
copies, and it tried to use directly the buffer supplied by the user
to them. This was a mistake because it created too many corner cases:
1- It was possible to generate unaligned
operations to unaligned buffers. Drivers that were using
DMA transfer failed in that case.
2- It was possible to generate read operations
with sizes that weren't a multiple of the block size. Some
low level drivers assumed that condition and they calculated
the number of blocks dividing the number of bytes by the
size of the block, without considering the remaining bytes.
3- The block_* operations didn't control the
number of bytes actually copied to memory, because the
low level drivers were writing directly to the user buffer.
This patch rewrite block_read and block_write to use always the device
buffer, which the platform ensures that has the correct aligment and
the correct size.

Replace all use of memset by zeromem when zeroing moderately-sized
structure by applying the following transformation:
memset(x, 0, sizeof(x)) => zeromem(x, sizeof(x))
As the Trusted Firmware is compiled with -ffreestanding, it forbids the
compiler from using __builtin_memset and forces it to generate calls to
the slow memset implementation. Zeromem is a near drop in replacement
for this use case, with a more efficient implementation on both AArch32
and AArch64.

If buffer address parameter isn't aligned, it may cause
DMA issue in block device driver, as eMMC. Now check the buffer
address. If it's not aligned, use temporary buffer in io block
driver instead.

FIP is accessed as memory-mapped type. eMMC is block device type.
In order to support FIP based on eMMC, add the new io_block layer.
io_block always access eMMC device as block size. And it'll only
copy the required data into buffer in io_block driver. So preparing
an temporary buffer is required.
When use io_block device, MAX_IO_BLOCK_DEVICES should be declared
in platform_def.h. It's used to support multiple block devices.
