As an initial stage of making Trusted Firmware build environment more
portable, we remove most uses of the $(shell ) function and replace them
with more portable make function based solutions.
Note that the setting of BUILD_STRING still uses $(shell ) since it's
not possible to reimplement this as a make function. Avoiding invocation
of this on incompatible host platforms will be implemented separately.
