[PATCH v2 1/5] KVM: arm64: Force ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.GIC=1 when exposing a virtual GICv3

Until now, we always let ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.GIC reflect the value
visible on the host, even if we were running a GICv2-enabled VM
on a GICv3+compat host.

That's fine, but we also now have the case of a host that does not
expose ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.GIC==1 despite having a vGIC. Yes, this is
confusing. Thank you M1.

Let's go back to first principles and expose ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.GIC=1
when a GICv3 is exposed to the guest. This also hides a GICv4.1
CPU interface from the guest which has no business knowing about
the v4.1 extension.
