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)
...

HOSTCC should be used in any of the tools inside the tools/ directory
instead of CC. That way it is possible to override both values from the
command line when building the Trusted Firmware and the tools at the
same time. Also, use HOSTCCFLAGS instead of CFLAGS.
Also, instead of printing the strings CC and LD in the console during
the compilation of the tools, HOSTCC and HOSTLD have to be used for
clarity. This is how it is done in other projects like U-Boot or Linux.

As these rules depend on non-existing headers as well (likely copy &
pasted from fiptool), they never matched, and the built-in rules were
used. That led to random breakages when e.g. CPPFLAGS was suddenly
evaluated and contained invalid options.
For the stm32image, this reveals that we were relying on the built-in
rules by passing -D_GNU_SOURCE via CPPFLAGS, rather than using CFLAGS as
used in the local rule. Fix that as well.

This tools adds a specific header to ST TF-A binary.
This header is used by STM32MP1 ROM code to check the bootloader.
