The `finish_console_register` macro is used by the multi console
framework to register the `console_t` driver callbacks. It relied
on weak references to the `ldr` instruction to populate 0 to the
callback in case the driver has not defined the appropriate
function. Use of `ldr` instruction to load absolute address to a
reference makes the binary position dependant. These instructions
should be replaced with adrp/adr instruction for position independant
executable(PIE). But adrp/adr instructions don't work well with weak
references as described in GNU ld bugzilla issue 22589.
This patch defines a new version of `finish_console_register` macro
which can spcify which driver callbacks are valid and deprecates the
old one. If any of the argument is not specified, then the macro
populates 0 for that callback. Hence the functionality of the previous
deprecated macro is preserved. The USE_FINISH_CONSOLE_REG_2 define
is used to select the new variant of the macro and will be removed
once the deprecated variant is removed.
All the upstream console drivers have been migrated to use the new
macro in this patch.
NOTE: Platforms be aware that the new variant of the
`finish_console_register` should be used and the old variant is
deprecated.

The comments with the prototypes of the register functions of the
console drivers are incorrect. The arguments are wrong. This patch fixes
them.

Include missing plat_helpers.S into pl011_console.S, to build successfully
when MULTI_CONSOLE_API is enabled.

This patch updates the ARM PL011 console driver to support the new
console API. The driver will continue to support the old API as well by
checking the MULTI_CONSOLE_API compile-time flag.

This function ensures that console output is flushed, for example
before shutting down or use by another component
In line with other console APIs, console_flush() wraps
console_core_flush().
Also implement console_core_flush() for PL011.

This patch moves the various assembly console drivers
into `aarch64` architecture specific folder. Stub files,
which include files from new location, are retained at the
original location for platform compatibility reasons.
