Introduce some helper macros for exception vectors

This patch introduces some assembler macros to simplify the
declaration of the exception vectors. It abstracts the section
the exception code is put into as well as the alignments
constraints mandated by the ARMv8 architecture. For all TF images,
the exception code has been updated to make use of these macros.

This patch also updates some invalid comments in the exception
vector code.
