[PATCH 04/24] ARM: stm32mp: change stm32image extension to .stm32

The .img extension for stm32mp1 images is unfortunate. The format is
deprecated and its header makes it not directly executable and thus not
suitable as-is for use in a FIP image where the BL33 is run from offset 0.

To make existence of the STM32 header evident, rename the extension
from .img to .stm32. As it's still supported by TF-A, have symlinks, so
user build script can use the old names for now.
