This patch gives users control over logging messages printed from the C
code using the LOG macros defined in debug.h Users now have the ability
to reduce the log_level at run time using the tf_log_set_max_level()
function. The default prefix string can be defined by platform by
overriding the `plat_log_get_prefix()` platform API which is also
introduced in this patch.
The new log framework results in saving of some RO data. For example,
when BL1 is built for FVP with LOG_LEVEL=LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE, resulted
in saving 384 bytes of RO data and increase of 8 bytes of RW data. The
framework also adds about 108 bytes of code to the release build of FVP.
