This patch overhauls the console API to allow for multiple console
instances of different drivers that are active at the same time. Instead
of binding to well-known function names (like console_core_init),
consoles now provide a register function (e.g. console_16550_register())
that will hook them into the list of active consoles. All console
operations will be dispatched to all consoles currently in the list.
The new API will be selected by the build-time option MULTI_CONSOLE_API,
which defaults to ${ERROR_DEPRECATED} for now. The old console API code
will be retained to stay backwards-compatible to older platforms, but
should no longer be used for any newly added platforms and can hopefully
be removed at some point in the future.
The new console API is intended to be used for both normal (bootup) and
crash use cases, freeing platforms of the need to set up the crash
console separately. Consoles can be individually configured to be active
active at boot (until first handoff to EL2), at runtime (after first
handoff to EL2), and/or after a crash. Console drivers should set a sane
default upon registration that can be overridden with the
console_set_scope() call. Code to hook up the crash reporting mechanism
to this framework will be added with a later patch.
This patch only affects AArch64, but the new API could easily be ported
to AArch32 as well if desired.

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.

The PL011 TRM (ARM DDI 0183G) specifies that the UART must be
disabled before any of the control registers are programmed. The
PL011 driver included in TF does not disable the UART, so the
initialization in BL2 and BL31 is violating this requirement
(and potentially in BL1 if the UART is enabled after reset).
This patch modifies the initialization function in the PL011
console driver to disable the UART before programming the
control registers.
Register clobber list and documentation updated.

The 'ret' was missing in console_uninit() implementation, so the
program doesn't return from console_uninit(). Instead, it keeps
executing the following instructions which is not expected.

Allowing console base address to be set to NULL conveniently
allows console driver to ignore further invocations to console_putc()
and console_getc(). This patch adds `console_uninit()` API to the
console driver which sets console base address as NULL. The BL images can
invoke this API to finish the use of console and ignore any further
invocations to print to the console.

This patch changes the type of the base address parameter in the
ARM device driver APIs to uintptr_t (GIC, CCI, TZC400, PL011). The
uintptr_t type allows coverage of the whole memory space and to
perform arithmetic operations on the addresses. ARM platform code
has also been updated to use uintptr_t as GIC base address in the
configuration.

Separate out the common console functionality in
`drivers/arm/pl011/pl011_console.S` into a new source file
`drivers/console/console.S`. The former includes the latter to
provide backwards compatibility for platform make files.
Also add a skeleton console implementation for platforms that do not
want to use PL011.

Move almost all system include files to a logical sub-directory
under ./include. The only remaining system include directories
not under ./include are specific to the platform. Move the
corresponding source files to match the include directory
structure.
Also remove pm.h as it is no longer used.

Rename drivers/console/console.c to

This patch reworks the console driver to ensure that each bootloader stage
initializes it independently. As a result, both BL3-1 and BL2 platform code
now calls console_init() instead of relying on BL1 to perform console setup
