[PATCH v3 1/3] hw/intc/armv7m_nvic: add "num-prio-bits" property

[Samuel Tardieu]

Cortex-M NVIC can have a different number of priority bits.
Cortex-M0/M0+/M1 devices must use 2 or more bits, while devices based
on ARMv7m and up must use 3 or more bits.

This adds a "num-prio-bits" property which will get sensible default
values if unset (2 or 8 depending on the device). Unless a SOC
specifies the number of bits to use, the previous behavior is
maintained for backward compatibility.
