Previously mem_protect used to be only supported from BL2. This is not
helpful in the case when ARM TF-A BL2 is not used. This patch demonstrates
mem_protect from el3_runtime firmware on ARM Platforms specifically
when RESET_TO_BL31 or RESET_TO_SP_MIN flag is set as BL2 may be absent
in these cases. The Non secure DRAM is dynamically mapped into EL3 mmap
tables temporarily and then the protected regions are then cleared. This
avoids the need to map the non secure DRAM permanently to BL31/sp_min.
The stack size is also increased, because DYNAMIC_XLAT_TABLES require
a bigger stack.

This commit introduces a new type (mem_region_t) used to describe
memory regions and it adds two utility functions:
- clear_mem_regions: This function clears (write 0) to a set
of regions described with an array of mem_region_t.
- mem_region_in_array_chk This function checks if a
region is covered by some of the regions described
with an array of mem_region_t.
