This is intended primarily for use as a storage abstraction.
It allows operations such as image-loading to be implemented
in a platform-independent fashion. Each platform registers
a set of IO drivers during initialisation. The platform must
also provide a function that will return a device and a specifier
that can be used to access specified content.
Clients of the API will primarily use device and entity handles.
The term "entity" is deliberately vague, to allow for different
representations of content accessed using different types of
specifier, but will often be interpreted as a "file" where the
specifier will normally be its path.
This commit builds, but is intended to be paired with a sample
implementation of "load_image" using a semi-hosting driver on FVP.

memmove needs to allow for overlapping memory regions and, together
with memcpy, should return the input destination pointer, not the
address after the end of the copied data.

- This change is split into two separate patches in order to
simplify the history as interpreted by 'git'. The split is
between the move/rename and addition of new files.
- Remove dependency on toolchain C library headers and functions in
order to ensure behavioural compatibility between toolchains.
- Use FreeBSD as reference for C library implementation.
- Do not let GCC use default library include paths.
- Remove unused definitions in modified headers and implementations.
- Move C library files to 'lib/stdlib' and 'include/stdlib'.
- Break std.c functions out into separate files.
