The problem that this resolves is a bit involved; the following
must be met at the same time for some function <to_be_wrapped>:
* to_be_wrapped must be specified as part of the romlib
* to_be_wrapped must _not_ be referenced by any translation unit
in TF-A
* to_be_wrapped must be referenced by a translation unit in a
dependent library, mbedtls for example.
Under these circumstances, to_be_wrapped will not be wrapped, and
will instead reference its original definition while simultaneously
residing in romlib.
This is a side effect of two issues with romlib prior to this patch:
1 to_be_wrapped is expected to wrap by duplicating its definition.
This causes any condition that links against both the base and
wrapper functions to be a link error (duplicate symbol definition).
2 to_be_wrapped is in its own translation unit
This causes the wrappers to be used by TF-A in an as needed.
The duplicate function definitions can be worked around using the
linker's `--wrap` flag, which redirects all references to a symbol
to resolve to `__wrap_<symbol>` and the original symbol to be
available as `__real_<symbol>`. Most of the changes handle creating
this arguments and passing them to the linker.
Further, once you use the linker's wrap, you will encounter another
issue: if TF-A does not use a function, its wrapper is not present.
This causes link issues when a library and not TF-A uses the wrapper.
Note that this issue would have been resolved previously by ignoring
the wrapper and using the base definition.
This further issue is worked around by concatenating the assembly for
all of the wrappers into a single translation unit. It's possible to
work around this issue in a few other ways, including reordering the
libraries passed to the linker to place libwrapper.a last or grouping
the libraries so that symbols from later libraries may be resolved
with prior libraries.
I chose the translation unit concatenation approach as it revealed
that a jumptable has duplicate symbols within it.

There's a typo in the romlib design document when referring to
the generator script. It should be romlib_generator.py instead
of romlib_generate.py so fixed this typo.

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.

The features of the previously existing gentbl, genvar and genwrappers
scripts were reimplemented in the romlib_generator.py Python script.
This resulted in more readable and maintainable code and the script
introduces additional features that help dependency handling in
makefiles. The assembly templates were separated from the script logic
and were collected in the 'templates' directory.
The targets and their dependencies were reorganized in the makefile and
the dependency handling of included index files is possible now.
Incremental build is available in case of modifying the index files.

Several code blocks do not specify a language for syntax
highlighting. This results in Sphinx using a default highlighter
which is Python.
This patch adds the correct language to each code block that doesn't
already specify it.

These are no longer needed as there will always be a table of contents
rendered to the left of every page.
Some of these lists can be quite long and, when opening a page, the
reader sees nothing but a huge list of contents! After this patch,
the document contents are front-and-centre and the contents are
nicely rendered in the sidebar without duplication.

This change creates the following directories under docs/
in order to provide a grouping for the content:
- components
- design
- getting_started
- perf
- process
In each of these directories an index.rst file is created
and this serves as an index / landing page for each of the
groups when the pages are compiled. Proper layout of the
top-level table of contents relies on this directory/index
structure.
Without this patch it is possible to build the documents
correctly with Sphinx but the output looks messy because
there is no overall hierarchy.
