Add support for BL2 in XIP memory
In some use-cases BL2 will be stored in eXecute In Place (XIP) memory,
like BL1. In these use-cases, it is necessary to initialize the RW sections
in RAM, while leaving the RO sections in place. This patch enable this
use-case with a new build option, BL2_IN_XIP_MEM. For now, this option
is only supported when BL2_AT_EL3 is 1.
