v3 cover new packages: atfirmware and scpfirmware

This patch adds to buildroot an important package for ARM64 based development
boards: The ARM Trusted Firmware (atfirmware).
It also adds the scpfirmware which is a hidden package to get the System Control Processor (SCP) binary to be included in the bootloader (fip image), which is a requirement for ARM Juno's board. With this 2 packages, Juno gets fully supported in the Buildroot.
