Introduce the TFTF GICv3 support
This patch adds GICv3 driver support to TFTF and also enables dynamic selection of the GIC driver within ARM GIC layer according to the GIC mode detected. The GICv3 driver is defined in `gic_v3.c` and prototypes are present in `gic_v3.h`. Appropriate architecture helpers are also added for accessing GICv3 system registers. A ARM GIC layer for dynamically selecting the appropriate GIC driver is added in `arm_gic_v2v3.c`. The fvp, armstrong, buzz and collins platform ports now use this dynamic ARM GIC layer which selects the GIC driver according to the way GIC has been configured.
