arm/trusted-firmware-a: fix cot-dt2c parser failure

Provide a TF-A fix to normalise CoT DTS cell expressions before cot-dt2c
parses the generated descriptor.

This avoids build failures where cot-dt2c reports "not a valid CoT DT file"
when parsing arithmetic expressions in generated CoT descriptors.

+Subject: [PATCH] fix(cot-dt2c): normalise arithmetic cell expressions
+
+TF-A's generated CoT descriptor can contain preprocessed C macro
+expressions in devicetree cells, such as:
+
+    image-id = <((39) + 2)>;
+
+Recent pydevicetree evaluates the inner parenthesised tokens before the
+outer expression and raises a TypeError while parsing these values. This
+makes cot-dt2c report "not a valid CoT DT file" even though the
+descriptor is valid after evaluating the numeric expression.
+
+Keep the normal parser path unchanged, but retry with numeric cell
+expressions reduced to integer values when parsing fails.
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/54905]
