Add optional bl1_plat_prepare_exit() API
This patch adds an optional API to the platform port: void bl1_plat_prepare_exit(void); This function is called prior to exiting BL1 in response to the RUN_IMAGE_SMC request raised by BL2. It should be used to perform platform specific clean up or bookkeeping operations before transferring control to the next image. A weak empty definition of this function has been provided to preserve platform backwards compatibility. Change-Id: Iec09697de5c449ae84601403795cdb6aca166ba1
