hw/intc/arm_gic: Document QEMU interface

The GICv2's QEMU interface (sysbus MMIO regions, IRQs,
etc) is now quite complicated with the addition of the
virtualization extensions. Add a comment in the header
file which documents it.

/*
* QEMU interface:

* + QOM property "num-irq": number of IRQs (including both SPIs and PPIs)
* + QOM property "revision": GIC version (1 or 2), or 0 for the 11MPCore GIC
* + QOM property "has-security-extensions": set true if the GIC should
* implement the security extensions
* + QOM property "has-virtualization-extensions": set true if the GIC should
* implement the virtualization extensions
* + unnamed GPIO inputs: (where P is number of SPIs, i.e. num-irq - 32)
* [0..P-1] SPIs
* [P..P+31] PPIs for CPU 0
* [P+32..P+63] PPIs for CPU 1
