A number of features are marked experimental in the build system through
makefiles but there wasn't an explicit document to list them.
Added a dedicated experimental build options section and moved
existing experimental build option descriptions in this section.
Restoring the change from [1] removing the experimental flag on the EL3
SPMC (this has been lost in rebasing a later change).

CryptoCell-712 and CryptoCell-713 drivers have been deprecated since
TF-A v2.9 and their removal was announced for TF-A v2.10 release.
See [1].
As the release is approaching, this patch deletes these drivers' code as
well as all references to them in the documentation and Arm platforms
code (Nuvoton platform is taken care in a subsequent patch). Associated
build options (ARM_CRYPTOCELL_INTEG and PLAT_CRYPTOCELL_BASE) have also
been removed and thus will have no effect if defined.
This is a breaking change for downstream platforms which use these
drivers.

Note that TF-A v3.0 release later got renumbered into v2.10.

In order to ease introduction of new STM32 MPUs platforms, a dedicated
ST sub-menu (and directory) is created.
The old page is kept, but with an orphan parameter to avoid build
issues with the docs, and to avoid listing it in the menu. It is
updated to just have links with the new pages.
A new page STM32 MPUs is created to group common options for all STM32
MPUs.

Document the new platform build options for the MSM8916 port which now
supports multiple similar Qualcomm SoCs:
- Snapdragon 410 (PLAT=msm8916) as before
- Snapdragon 615 (PLAT=msm8939)
- Snapdragon 210 (PLAT=msm8909)
- Snapdragon X5 Modem (PLAT=mdm9607)
The latter two use AArch32-only ARM Cortex-A7 cores that only support
using BL32/SP_MIN and not BL31 on AArch64.

Add a new page in TF-A documentation for clarifying the process to
elect a new maintainer. This builds on top of the Trusted Firmware
process [1], with the following TF-A specific details:
- Must have contributed to the project for at least a couple of years.
- Must dedicate at least 2 hours a week for maintainer duties.
- Details about the election process. In particular, setting a
one-calendar-week deadline for other maintainers to raise
objections.

We plan to deprecate the CryptoCell-712 and CryptoCell-713 drivers in
TF-A release v2.9 and eventually remove the code from the tree in
release 3.0.
The only upstream platforms which use these drivers today are the Arm
Ltd developpment platforms, such as Juno.
Write this information down into the "Release Processes" document.

In some platform the digest of the public key saved in the OTP is not
the digest of the exact same public key buffer needed to check the
signature. Typically, platform checks signature using the DER ROTPK
whereas some others add some related information. Add a new platform
weak function to transform the public key buffer used by
verify_signature to a platform specific public key.
Mark this new weak function as deprecated as it will be replaced
by another framework implementation.

We used to have a dedicated page for deprecated platforms information.
This document contained 2 pieces of information:
a) the process for deprecating a platform port;
b) the list of deprecated platforms to this day.
I think it makes more sense to move b) to the platforms ports landing
page, such that it is more visible.
This also has the nice effect to move the 'Deprecated platforms' title
as the last entry of the 'Platform ports' table of contents, like so:
- Platform ports
- 1. Allwinner ARMv8 SoCs
- 2. Arm Development Platforms
...
- 39. Broadcom Stingray
- Deprecated platforms
instead of it being lost in the middle of supported platform ports.
Regarding a), this gets moved under the "Processes & Policies" section.
More specifically, it gets clubbed with the existing platform
compatibility policy. The combined document gets renamed into a
"Platforms Ports Policy" document.
