Remove all non-configurable dead loops
Added a new platform porting function plat_panic_handler, to allow
platforms to handle unexpected error situations. It must be
implemented in assembly as it may be called before the C environment
is initialized. A default implementation is provided, which simply
spins.
Corrected all dead loops in generic code to call this function
instead. This includes the dead loop that occurs at the end of the
call to panic().
All unnecesary wfis from bl32/tsp/aarch64/tsp_exceptions.S have
been removed.
