For a couple of releases now we have officially withdrawn support for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.

Since the introduction of the toolchain detection framework into the
build system, we have done determination and identification of the
toolchain(s) used for the build at the initialization of the build
system.
This incurs a large cost to the build every time - for every toolchain
that has been requested by the current makefile, we try to identify each
tool in the list of known tool classes, even if that tool doesn't
actually see any use.
For the clean and check-like targets we worked around this by disabling
most of the toolchains if we detect these targets, but this is
inflexible and not very reliable, and it still means that when building
normal targets we are incurring that cost for all tools whether they are
used or not.
This change instead modifies the toolchain detection framework to only
initialize a tool for a given toolchain when it is first used. This does
mean that we can no longer warn about an incorrectly-configured
toolchain at the beginning of build system invocation, but it has the
advantage of substantially reducing build time and the complexity of
*using* the framework (at the cost of an increase in complexity in the
framework itself).

This change introduces a few helper variables for dealing with verbose
and silent build modes: `silent`, `verbose`, `q` and `s`.
The `silent` and `verbose` variables are boolean values determining
whether the build system has been configured to run silently or
verbosely respectively (i.e. with `--silent` or `V=1`).
These two modes cannot be used together - if `silent` is truthy then
`verbose` is always falsy. As such:
make --silent V=1
... results in a silent build.
In addition to these boolean variables, we also introduce two new
variables - `s` and `q` - for use in rule recipes to conditionally
suppress the output of commands.
When building silently, `s` expands to a value which disables the
command that follows, and `q` expands to a value which supppresses
echoing of the command:
$(s)echo 'This command is neither echoed nor executed'
$(q)echo 'This command is executed but not echoed'
When building verbosely, `s` expands to a value which disables the
command that follows, and `q` expands to nothing:
$(s)echo 'This command is neither echoed nor executed'
$(q)echo 'This command is executed and echoed'
In all other cases, both `s` and `q` expand to a value which suppresses
echoing of the command that follows:
$(s)echo 'This command is executed but not echoed'
$(q)echo 'This command is executed but not echoed'
The `s` variable is predominantly useful for `echo` commands, where you
always want to suppress echoing of the command itself, whilst `q` is
more useful for all other commands.

This change migrates the values of `CC`, `CPP`, `AS` and other toolchain
variables to the new `$(toolchain)-$(tool)` variables, which were
introduced by the toolchain refactor patch. These variables should be
equivalent to the values that they're replacing.

This change refactors how we identify the toolchain, with the ultimate
aim of eventually cleaning up the various mechanisms that we employ to
configure default tools, identify the tools in use, and configure
toolchain flags.
To do this, we introduce three new concepts in this change:
- Toolchain identifiers,
- Tool class identifiers, and
- Tool identifiers.
Toolchain identifiers identify a configurable chain of tools targeting
one platform/machine/architecture. Today, these are:
- The host machine, which receives the `host` identifier,
- The AArch32 architecture, which receives the `aarch32` identifier, and
- The AArch64 architecture, which receivs the `aarch64` identifier.
The tools in a toolchain may come from different vendors, and are not
necessarily expected to come from one single toolchain distribution. In
most cases it is perfectly valid to mix tools from different toolchain
distributions, with some exceptions (notably, link-time optimization
generally requires the compiler and the linker to be aligned).
Tool class identifiers identify a class (or "role") of a tool. C
compilers, assemblers and linkers are all examples of tool classes.
Tool identifiers identify a specific tool recognized and supported by
the build system. Every tool that can make up a part of a toolchain must
receive a tool identifier.
These new identifiers can be used to retrieve information about the
toolchain in a more standardized fashion.
For example, logic in a Makefile that should only execute when the C
compiler is GNU GCC can now check the tool identifier for the C compiler
in the relevant toolchain:
ifeq ($($(ARCH)-cc-id),gnu-gcc)
...

Meson is the internal code name for the SoC family. The correct name for
the platform should be Amlogic. Change the name of the platform
directory.
