The Getting started section is very difficult to follow. Building the
fip comes before building the files it needs, the BL33 requirement is
given in a somewhat hand wavy way, and the Arm Developer website
download provides a lot of targets and the guide is not clear which ones
are needed on download.
Swapping the initial build and supporting tools sections makes the flow
more natural and the supporting tools section then becomes clear.
Explicitly mentioning the GCC targets avoids confusion for people less
familiar with the project (eg. new starters).

Makefile updated to use LLVM utilities instead of GNU utilities when
compiling with clang. `CROSS_COMPILE` is not required since this
dependency has been removed.

The LLVM linker replaces the GNU linker as default for the link on Clang
builds. It is possible to override the default linker by setting the LD build
flag.
The patch also updates the TF-A doc.

This toolchain provides multiple cross compilers and are publicly
available on developer.arm.com
We build TF-A in CI using:
AArch32 bare-metal target (arm-none-eabi)
AArch64 ELF bare-metal target (aarch64-none-elf)

The User Guide document has grown organically over time and
now covers a wide range of topics, making it difficult to
skim read and extract information from. Currently, it covers
these topics and maybe a couple more:
- Requirements (hardware, tools, libs)
- Checking out the repo
- Basic build instructions
- A comprehensive list of build flags
- FIP packaging
- Building specifically for Juno
- Firmware update images
- EL3 payloads
- Preloaded BL33 boot flow
- Running on FVPs
- Running on Juno
I have separated these out into a few groups that become new
documents. Broadly speaking, build instructions for the tools,
for TF-A generally, and for specific scenarios are separated.
Content relating to specific platforms (Juno and the FVPs are
Arm-specific platforms, essentially) has been moved into the
documentation that is specific to those platforms, under
docs/plat/arm.
