Make the move from HOTPLUG_SPLIT_STARTUP to HOTPLUG_PARALLEL and enable parallel CPU bringup on systems with PSCI v0.2 or later. The fiddly part of all this is the error handling if a CPU fails to come up, as we can no longer rely on a single global 'status' flag to capture the details. Instead, the secondary_data::status field is replaced with a zero-initialised byte array, with each byte representing an error reason, so the total set of failures can be accurately captured by the primary CPU.
