This patch moves the macro SIZE_FROM_LOG2_WORDS() defined in
`arch.h` to `utils.h` as it is utility macro.

This patch adds some runtime checks to prevent some potential
pointer overflow issues in the is_mem_free() function. The overflow
could happen in the case where the end addresses, computed as the
sum of a base address and a size, results in a value large enough
to wrap around. This, in turn, could lead to unpredictable behaviour.
If such an overflow is detected, the is_mem_free() function will now
declare the memory region as not free. The overflow is detected using
a new macro, called check_uptr_overflow().
This patch also modifies all other places in the 'bl_common.c' file
where an end address was computed as the sum of a base address and a
size and instead keeps the two values separate. This avoids the need
to handle pointer overflows everywhere. The code doesn't actually need
to compute any end address before the is_mem_free() function is called
other than to print information message to the serial output.
This patch also introduces 2 slight changes to the reserve_mem()
function:
- It fixes the end addresses passed to choose_mem_pos(). It was
incorrectly passing (base + size) instead of (base + size - 1).
- When the requested allocation size is 0, the function now exits
straight away and says so using a warning message.
Previously, it used to actually reserve some memory. A zero-byte
allocation was not considered as a special case so the function
was using the same top/bottom allocation mechanism as for any
other allocation. As a result, the smallest area of memory starting
from the requested base address within the free region was
reserved.

This patch introduces the round_up() and round_down() macros,
which round up (respectively down) a value to a given boundary.
The boundary must be a power of two.

This patch introduces a new header file: include/lib/utils.h.
Its purpose is to provide generic macros and helper functions that
are independent of any BL image, architecture, platform and even
not specific to Trusted Firmware.
For now, it contains only 2 macros: ARRAY_SIZE() and
IS_POWER_OF_TWO(). These were previously defined in bl_common.h and
xlat_tables.c respectively.
bl_common.h includes utils.h to retain compatibility for platforms
that relied on bl_common.h for the ARRAY_SIZE() macro. Upstream
platform ports that use this macro have been updated to include
utils.h.
