Added support for HW computed CRC using Arm ACLE intrinsics.
These are built-in intrinsics available for ARMv8.1-A, and
onwards.
These intrinsics are enabled via '-march=armv8-a+crc' compile
switch for ARMv8-A (supports CRC instructions optionally).
HW CRC support is enabled unconditionally in BL2 for all Arm
platforms.
HW CRC calculation is verified offline to ensure a similar
result as its respective ZLib utility function.
HW CRC calculation support will be used in the upcoming
firmware update patches.

The Juno Trusted Entropy Source has a bias, which makes the generated
raw numbers fail a FIPS 140-2 statistic test.
To improve the quality of the numbers, we can use the CPU's CRC
instructions, which do a decent job on conditioning the bits.
This adds a *very* simple version of arm_acle.h, which is typically
provided by the compiler, and contains the CRC instrinsics definitions
we need. We need the original version by using -nostdinc.
