The payload for FW_PAYLOAD needs to be placed at a 2M/4M aligned address
(for 64/32 bit systems) and the current makefile uses FW_PAYLOAD_OFFSET
to achieve this. This only works if FW_TEXT_START is already 2M/4M
aligned. Most existing physical/virtual platforms have used a
FW_TEXT_START of 0x0 or 0x80000000, so this hasn't been an issue so far.
If, for example, FW_TEXT_START is 0x80000, the payload would end up
placed at 0x280000 on a 64 bit system, which isn't a 2M aligned
address.
Update the makefile to use FW_PAYLOAD_ALIGN instead. This will ensure
that the address picked for the payload is 2M/4M aligned irrespective of
where FW_TEXT_START is.

Now opensbi can run at any address via dynamic relocation. We can
remove FW_TEXT_START.

general platform use runtime relocatable address.

Now that no platform is using FW_PAYLOAD_FDT mechanism, we
remove related code from Makefile and related documentation.
