Add new version of image loading.

This patch adds capability to load BL images based on image
descriptors instead of hard coded way of loading BL images.
This framework is designed such that it can be readily adapted
by any BL stage that needs to load images.

In order to provide the above capability the following new
platform functions are introduced:

  bl_load_info_t *plat_get_bl_image_load_info(void);
    This function returns pointer to the list of images that the
    platform has populated to load.

  bl_params_t *plat_get_next_bl_params(void);
    This function returns a pointer to the shared memory that the
    platform has kept aside to pass trusted firmware related
    information that next BL image needs.

  void plat_flush_next_bl_params(void);
    This function flushes to main memory all the params that
    are passed to next image.

  int bl2_plat_handle_post_image_load(unsigned int image_id)
    This function can be used by the platforms to update/use
    image information for given `image_id`.

`desc_image_load.c` contains utility functions which can be used
by the platforms to generate, load and executable, image list
based on the registered image descriptors.

This patch also adds new version of `load_image/load_auth_image`
functions in-order to achieve the above capability.

Following are the changes for the new version as compared to old:
  - Refactor the signature and only keep image_id and image_info_t
    arguments. Removed image_base argument as it is already passed
    through image_info_t. Given that the BL image base addresses and
    limit/size are already provided by the platforms, the meminfo_t
    and entry_point_info arguments are not needed to provide/reserve
    the extent of free memory for the given BL image.

  - Added check for the image size against the defined max size.
    This is needed because the image size could come from an
    unauthenticated source (e.g. the FIP header).
    To make this check, new member is added to the image_info_t
    struct for identifying the image maximum size.

New flag `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` is added in the Makefile.
Default value is 0.

NOTE: `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` is currently not supported when
      `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` is enabled.
