Update Arm Trusted Firmware references in the upstream documents to
Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A). This is for consistency with and
disambiguation from Trusted Firmware-M (TF-M).
Also update other Arm trademarks, e.g. ARM->Arm, ARMv8->Armv8-A.

This patch updates the `firmware-design.rst` document for
changes in ARM-TF for supporting dynamic configuration features
as presented in `Secure Firmware BoF SFO'17`[1].
The patch also updates the user-guide for 2 build options for FVP
pertaining to dynamic config.

The CnP bit documentation in the Firmware Design Guide incorrectly
used the term "Page Entries" instead of "Processing Elements".
Fix that.

The FPEXC32_EL2 register controls SIMD and FP functionality when the
lower ELs are executing in AArch32 mode. It is architecturally mapped
to AArch32 system register FPEXC.
This patch removes FPEXC32_EL2 register from the System Register context
and adds it to the floating-point context. EL3 only saves / restores the
floating-point context if the build option CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS is set to 1.
The rationale for this change is that if the Secure world is using FP
functionality and EL3 is not managing the FP context, then the Secure
world will save / restore the appropriate FP registers.
NOTE - this is a break in behaviour in the unlikely case that
CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS is set to 0 and the platform contains an AArch32
Secure Payload that modifies FPEXC, but does not save and restore
this register

External build environment shall sets directive ARM_ARCH_MAJOR to 7
to specify a target ARMv7-A core.
As ARM-TF expects AARCH to be set, ARM_ARCH_MAJOR==7 mandates
AARCH=aarch32.
The toolchain target architecture/cpu is delegated after the platform
configuration is parsed. Platform shall define target core through
ARM_CORTEX_A<x>=yes, <x> being 5, 7, 9, 12, 15 and/or 17.
Platform can bypass ARM_CORTEX_A<x>=yes directive and provide straight
the toolchain target directive through MARCH32_DIRECTIVE.

Add events that trigger before entry to normal/secure world. The
events trigger after the normal/secure context has been restored.
Similarly add events that trigger after leaving normal/secure world.

This light-weight framework enables some EL3 components to publish
events which other EL3 components can subscribe to. Publisher can
optionally pass opaque data for subscribers. The order in which
subscribers are called is not defined.

The GIC driver initialization currently allows an array of interrupts to
be configured as secure. Future use cases would require more interrupt
configuration other than just security, such as priority.
This patch introduces a new interrupt property array as part of both
GICv2 and GICv3 driver data. The platform can populate the array with
interrupt numbers and respective properties. The corresponding driver
initialization iterates through the array, and applies interrupt
configuration as required.
This capability, and the current way of supplying array (or arrays, in
case of GICv3) of secure interrupts, are however mutually exclusive.
Henceforth, the platform should supply either:
- A list of interrupts to be mapped as secure (the current way).
Platforms that do this will continue working as they were. With this
patch, this scheme is deprecated.
- A list of interrupt properties (properties include interrupt group).
Individual interrupt properties are specified via. descriptors of
type 'interrupt_prop_desc_t', which can be populated with the macro
INTR_PROP_DESC().
A run time assert checks that the platform doesn't specify both.
Henceforth the old scheme of providing list of secure interrupts is
deprecated. When built with ERROR_DEPRECATED=1, GIC drivers will require
that the interrupt properties are supplied instead of an array of secure
interrupts.
Add a section to firmware design about configuring secure interrupts.

This patch enables the CnP (Common not Private) bit for secure page
tables so that multiple PEs in the same Inner Shareable domain can use
the same translation table entries for a given stage of translation in
a particular translation regime. This only takes effect when ARM
Trusted Firmware is built with ARM_ARCH_MINOR >= 2.
ARM Trusted Firmware Design has been updated to include a description
of this feature usage.

Due to recent issues in the rendering of the documentation on GitHub and
some long-standing issues like the lack of automatic table of content in
Markdown, the documentation has been converted to reStructuredText.
Basic constructs looks pretty similar to Markdown.
Automatically convert GitHub markdown documentation to reStructuredText
using pandoc.
