According to the PLIC specification[1], global interrupt sources are
assigned small unsigned integer identifiers beginning at the value 1.
An interrupt ID of 0 is reserved to mean "no interrupt".

The current plic_irq_resume() and plic_irq_suspend() functions incorrectly
starts the loop from index 0, which could access the reserved interrupt ID
0 register space.
This fix changes the loop to start from index 1, skipping the reserved
interrupt ID 0 as per the PLIC specification.

This prevents potential undefined behavior when accessing the reserved
register space during suspend/resume cycles.
