docs: import MISRA compliance spreadsheet
TF-A aims to comply with MISRA C:2012 Guidelines. We maintain a list of
all rules and directives and whether the project aims to comply with
them or not. A rationale is given for each deviation.
This list used to be provided as an '.ods' spreadsheet file hosted on
developer.trustedfirmware.org. This raises the following issues:
- The list is not version-controlled under the same scheme as TF-A
source code. This could lead to synchronization issues between the
two.
- The file needs to be open in a separate program, which is not as
straightforward as reading it from TF-A documentation itself.
- developer.trustedfirmware.org is deprecated, thus the file cannot be
safely kept there for any longer.
To address these issues, convert the '.ods' file into a CSV (Comma
Separated Values) file, which we import into TF-A source tree itself.
Make use of Sphinx's ability to process and render CSV files as tables
to display that information directly into the Coding Guidelines
document.
Also make the following minor changes along the way:
- Remove dead link to MISRA C:2012 Guidelines page. Replace it with a
link to a Wikipedia page to give a bit of context to the reader.
- We no longer use Coverity for MISRA compliance checks. Instead, we
use ECLAIR nowadays. Reflect this in the document.
