[PATCH 4/9] dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: add Andes machine-level software interrupt controller

Add the DT binding documentation for Andes machine-level software
interrupt controller.

In the Andes platform such as QiLai SoC, the PLIC module is instantiated a
second time with all interrupt sources tied to zero as the software
interrupt controller (PLICSW). PLICSW can generate machine-level software
interrupts through programming its registers.
