To make remoteproc's API more intuitive for developers, we adopt
the driver core's naming, i.e. alloc -> add -> del -> put. We'll also
add register/unregister when their first user shows up.
Otherwise - there's no functional change here.

Remove rproc_get_by_name() and rproc_put(), and the associated
remoteproc infrastructure that supports it (i.e. klist and friends),
because:
1. No one uses them
2. Using them is highly discouraged, and any potential user
will be deeply scrutinized and encouraged to move.
If a user, that absolutely can't live with the direct boot/shutdown
model, does show up one day, then bringing this functionality back
is going to be trivial.
At this point though, keeping this functionality around is way too
much of a maintenance burden.

Simplify the unregister/free interfaces, and make them easier
to understand and use, by moving to a symmetric and consistent
alloc() -> register() -> unregister() -> free() flow.
To create and register an rproc instance, one needed to invoke
rproc_alloc() followed by rproc_register().
To unregister and free an rproc instance, one now needs to invoke
rproc_unregister() followed by rproc_free().

Now that the resource table supports publishing a virtio device
in a single resource entry, firmware images can start supporting
more than a single vdev.
This patch removes the single vdev limitation of the remoteproc
framework so multi-vdev firmwares can be leveraged: VDEV resource
entries are parsed when the rproc is registered, and as a result
their vrings are set up and the virtio devices are registered
(and they go away when the rproc goes away).
Moreover, we no longer only support VIRTIO_ID_RPMSG vdevs; any
virtio device type goes now. As a result, there's no more any
rpmsg-specific APIs or code in remoteproc: it all becomes generic
virtio handling.

The resource table is an array of 'struct fw_resource' members, where
each resource entry is expressed as a single member of that array.
This approach got us this far, but it has a few drawbacks:
1. Different resource entries end up overloading the same members of 'struct
fw_resource' with different meanings. The resulting code is error prone
and hard to read and maintain.
2. It's impossible to extend 'struct fw_resource' without breaking the
existing firmware images (and we already want to: we can't introduce the
new virito device resource entry with the current scheme).
3. It doesn't scale: 'struct fw_resource' must be as big as the largest
resource entry type. As a result, smaller resource entries end up
utilizing only small part of it.
This is fixed by defining a dedicated structure for every resource type,
and then converting the resource table to a list of type-value members.
Instead of a rigid array of homogeneous structs, the resource table
is turned into a collection of heterogeneous structures.
This way:
1. Resource entries consume exactly the amount of bytes they need.
2. It's easy to extend: just create a new resource entry structure, and assign
it a new type.
3. The code is easier to read and maintain: the structures' members names are
meaningful.
While we're at it, this patch has several other resource table changes:
1. The resource table gains a simple header which contains the
number of entries in the table and their offsets within the table. This
makes the parsing code simpler and easier to read.
2. A version member is added to the resource table. Should we change the
format again, we'll bump up this version to prevent breakage with
existing firmware images.
3. The VRING and VIRTIO_DEV resource entries are combined to a single
VDEV entry. This paves the way to supporting multiple VDEV entries.
4. Since we don't really support 64-bit rprocs yet, convert two stray u64
members to u32.

Modern SoCs typically employ a central symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
application processor running Linux, with several other asymmetric
multiprocessing (AMP) heterogeneous processors running different instances
of operating system, whether Linux or any other flavor of real-time OS.
Booting a remote processor in an AMP configuration typically involves:
- Loading a firmware which contains the OS image
- Allocating and providing it required system resources (e.g. memory)
- Programming an IOMMU (when relevant)
- Powering on the device
This patch introduces a generic framework that allows drivers to do
that. In the future, this framework will also include runtime power
management and error recovery.
