Transfer List Compiler is a command line tool that enables the static
generation of TL's compliant with version 0.9 of the firmware handoff
specification. The intent of this tool is to support information passing
via the firmware handoff framework to bootloaders that run without
preceding images (i.e. `RESET_TO_BL31`).
It currently allows for TL's to be statically generated from blobs of
data, and modified by removing/adding TE's. Future work will provide
support for TL generation from configuration file.

Fixes errors encountered when handling SVG graphics, unicode characters,
and deeply nested lists (i.e. in the change log) with the `latexpdf`
docs build. Adds `sphinxcontrib-svg2pdfconverter` to allow embedding SVG
images into PDF files; changes the LaTeX engine to XeLaTex to provide
wider support for unicode characters (see [1] for more details); and
increases the maximum list depth.

Make the symbol table produced by the memory mapping script more
readable. Add a generic interface for interacting with ELF binaries.
This interface enables us to get symbols that provide some insights into
TF-A's memory usage.

Click is used in parts of the CI scripts (see run_config/fvp-linux.tc
for instance), add it back as part of a new dependency group. Future
dependencies that are required only in CI should be added to the
``ci`` dependency group.

New python dependencies are introduced by the memory mapping script.
Rather than add another `requirements.txt` utilise poetry. This is a
proper dependency management framework for Python. The two main upsides
of using poetry instead of the traditional requirements.txt are
maintainability and reproducibility.
Poetry provides a proper lock file for pinning dependencies, similar to
npm for JavaScript. This allows for separate environments (i.e. docs,
tools) to be created efficiently, and in a reproducible manner, wherever
the project is deployed. Having dependencies pinned in this manner is a
boon as a security focused project. An additional upside is that we will
receive security updates for dependencies via GitHub's Dependabot.
