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)
...

CMD.exe limits prompts to 8191 characters [1], unfortunately our command
line lengths when building with make get really long and in certain
instances exceed this limit. Get around this by passing options to the
compiler and linker via the response file mechanism.

Although support for building fiptool on a Windows host was present,
the binary was not built when the top level makefile was invoked.
This patch makes the necessary changes to the to support building of
fiptool on a Windows host PC from the main makefile.

Commit <ee1ba6d4ddf1> ("Makefile: Support totally quiet output with -s")
broke verbose (V=1) builds on Windows. This patch fixes it by adding
helpers to silence echo prints in a OS-dependent way.

2 problems were found, but are in one change to avoid submitting a patch
that might fail to build. The problems were:
1. The macro MAKE_PREREQ_DIR has a minor bug, in that it is capable of
generating recursive dependencies.
2. The inclusion of BUILD_DIR in TEMP_OBJ_DIRS left no explicit
dependency, BUILD_DIR might not exist when subdirectories are
created by a thread on another CPU.
This fix corrects these with the following changes:
1. MAKE_PREREQ_DIR does nothing for a direct self dependency.
2. BUILD_DIR is built using MAKE_PREREQ_DIR.
3. BUILD_DIR is an explicit prerequisite of all OBJ_DIRS.

The -c flag should not be included in the global variable TF_CFLAGS;
it should be specified in the build rule only when its target is a
*.o file.

The user can provide additional CFLAGS to use when building TF.
However, these custom CFLAGS are currently prepended to the
standard CFLAGS that are hardcoded in the TF build system. This
is an issue because when providing conflicting compiler flags
(e.g. different optimisations levels like -O1 and -O0), the last
one on the command line usually takes precedence. This means that
the user flags get overriden.
To address this problem, this patch separates the TF CFLAGS from
the user CFLAGS. The former are now stored in the TF_CFLAGS make
variable, whereas the CFLAGS make variable is untouched and reserved
for the user. The order of the 2 sets of flags is enforced when
invoking the compiler.

To get round problems encountered when building in a DOS build
environment the generation of the .o file containing build identifier
strings is modified.
The problems encounterred were:
1. DOS echo doesn't strip ' characters from the output text.
2. git is not available from CMD.EXE so the BUILD_STRING value needs
some other origin.
A BUILD_STRING value of "development build" is used for now.
MAKE_BUILD_STRINGS is used to customise build string generation in a DOS
environment. This variable is not defined in the UNIX build environment
make file helper, and so the existing build string generation behaviour
is retained in these build environments.
NOTE: This commit completes a cumulative series aimed at improving
build portability across development environments.
This enables the build to run on several new build environments,
if the relevant tools are available.
At this point the build is tested on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1,
using CMD.EXE, Cygwin and Msys (MinGW),as well as a native
Linux envionment". The Windows platform builds used
aarch64-none-elf-gcc.exe 4.9.1. CMD.EXE and Msys used Gnu
Make 3.81, cygwin used Gnu Make 4.1.
CAVEAT: The cert_create tool build is not tested on the Windows
platforms (openssl-for-windows has a GPL license).

In some build environments executable programs have a specific file
extension. The value of BIN_EXT is appended to the relevant tool file
names to allow for this.
The value of BIN_EXT is set, where appropriate, by the build environment
specific make helper (to .exe for Windows build environments).
.gitignore is updated to hide the new (.exe) files.

Add make helper files to select the appropriate settings for the build
environment. Selection is made in make_helpers/build_env.mk, which
selects other files to include using generic build environment settings.
The Trusted Firmware Makefile and supporting tool Makefiles are updated
to include build_env.mk instead of unix.mk.
NOTE: This change does not fully enable builds in other build
environments. It facilitates this without compromising the
existing build environments.
