For a couple of releases now we have officially withdrawn support for
building TF-A on Windows using the native environment, relying instead
on POSIX emulation layers like MSYS2, Mingw64, Cygwin or WSL.
This change removes the remainder of the OS compatibility layer
entirely, and migrates the build system over to explicitly relying on a
POSIX environment.

Grouped targets are a feature introduced with GNU Make 4.3 which enable
rules with multiple targets to communicate that all of the targets of
that rule are built simultaneously, rather than independently.
For example, without grouped targets the following rule may be executed
twice:
a.txt b.txt:
touch a.txt b.txt
# $ remake -j2 a.txt b.txt
# touch a.txt b.txt
# touch a.txt b.txt
In this example, both `a.txt` and `b.txt` are touched twice, when the
rule should only be executed once. Instead, this rule can use a grouped
target:
a.txt b.txt &:
touch a.txt b.txt
# $ remake -j2 a.txt b.txt
# touch a.txt b.txt
# remake: 'b.txt' is up to date.
In this case, both `a.txt` and `b.txt` are created once only, as Make
now knows that the recipe will create both files.
Note that pattern rules with multiple targets always behave this way.
Previously, we assumed that the grouped target feature was available,
but on systems still packaging Make 4.2, most prominently Ubuntu 20.04,
this is not the case. This change adds a check to ensure that we do not
use grouped targets if they are unavailable.

The Yocto team has requested that we do not use Poetry from within the
Makefile, as Yocto does not have network access during the build
process.
We want to maintain the current behaviour, so this change makes our use
of Poetry contigent on it being available in the environment.
Additionally, explicitly passing an empty toolchain parameter now allows
a tool to be *disabled* (e.g. passing `POETRY=` will prevent the build
system from trying to use Poetry).

This is another small addition to the build system utlities to make it
easier to determine the truthiness of an arbitrary value.
This change adds the `bool` function, which takes a value and determines
whether the value is "truthy". We consider a value to be truthy if it is
NOT one of: "0", "n", "no", "f" or "false" (all case-insensitive).
If the value is truthy then it is returned as-is. Otherwise, no value
is returned.

This is a small modification to two existing functions in the build
system: `uppercase` and `lowercase`.
These functions have been moved to the common utilities makefile, and
use the `tr` tool to simplify their implementation. Behaviour is, for
virtually all use-cases, identical.

Fix issue with Windows paths containing spaces. Recent toolchain
refactoring (cc277de) caused a regression in the Windows build. Ensure
toolchain path utilities wrap paths in double quoted strings.
