Add NOR flash library, this library provides APIs for getting the list
of NOR flash devices on the platform.

[SAMI] I think the information in the commit message of patch 10/14 would be 
more useful here.

Not mandatory, but it may be useful to have an ASCII diagram to explain the 
flash partitioning.

[/SAMI]
[SAHIL]
I will add more information to the commit message.
As for the ASCII diagram, as the size of the images can change, it
will not be possible to make an accurate diagram.
[/SAHIL]
[SAMI] See if you can represent the layout, otherwise ignore my comment. [/SAMI]

[SAMI] Would it be an issue if someone were to increase the storage variable 
sizes above?

How can you prevent someone overwriting the flash region used by the SCP?

Would it make sense to add a check in NorFlashPlatformInitialization() ?

[/SAMI]
[SAHIL]
With the current code, the firmware images take ~2.5MB and the
variable storage region starts at 15MB
offset from the base. The firmware image's size is unlikely to change much.
Therefore, it is unlikely to cause any issue if someone tries to
increase the variable
region by decreasing the PcdFlashNvStorageVariableBase.

If we still want to add a check, I can add an assert checking
PcdFlashNvStorageVariableBase offset is
not <= to a particular offset (maybe 8MB) in NorFlashPlatformInitialization().
Would this be fine?
[SAMI] Yes, an assert at the appropriate place would be good. Also think if it would make sense to add a check and return an error. [/SAMI]
