This patch makes the console crash dump of processor register
state optional based on the CRASH_REPORTING make variable.
This defaults to only being enabled for DEBUG builds. This can
be overridden by setting a different value in the platform
makefile or on the make command line.

'crash_reporting.S' needs to include 'platform_def.h' to get the
definition of PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT.
Note: On FVP it was compiling because 'platform_def.h' gets included
through 'plat/fvp/include/plat_macros.S' but we don't want to rely on
that for other platforms.

This patch implements the register reporting when unhandled exceptions are
taken in BL3-1. Unhandled exceptions will result in a dump of registers
to the console, before halting execution by that CPU. The Crash Stack,
previously called the Exception Stack, is used for this activity.
This stack is used to preserve the CPU context and runtime stack
contents for debugging and analysis.
This also introduces the per_cpu_ptr_cache, referenced by tpidr_el3,
to provide easy access to some of BL3-1 per-cpu data structures.
Initially, this is used to provide a pointer to the Crash stack.
panic() now prints the the error file and line number in Debug mode
and prints the PC value in release mode.
The Exception Stack is renamed to Crash Stack with this patch.
The original intention of exception stack is no longer valid
since we intend to support several valid exceptions like IRQ
and FIQ in the trusted firmware context. This stack is now
utilized for dumping and reporting the system state when a
crash happens and hence the rename.
