[PATCH 2/2] firmware: arm_scmi: Implement arm,poll-transport property

Implement new property arm,poll-transport, which sets all SCMI operation into
poll mode. This is meant to work around uncooperative SCP implementations,
which do not generate completion interrupts. This applies primarily on mbox
based implementations, but does also cover SMC and VirtIO ones.
With this property set, such implementations which do not generate interrupts
can be interacted with, until they are fixed to generate interrupts properly.
The SMC transport is modified such, that it ignores interrupts described in
DT in case this property is set. This is an edge case, where the SMC transport
may use this property to ignore broken interrupts too.
