Document: add MAX_IO_BLOCK_DEVICES platform macro

Add MAX_IO_BLOCK_DEVICES in porting guide. It's necessary to define
this macro to support io block device. With this macro, multiple
block devices could be opened at the same time. Each block device
stores its own state.

 If the platform needs to allocate data within the per-cpu data framework in
 BL31, it should define the following macro. Currently this is only required if
 the platform decides not to use the coherent memory section by undefining the
