[PATCH v2 3/3] [NOT-FOR-UPSTREAM] platform: generic: virt: add APLIC M-mode IRQ test overlay

From: Raymond Mao <raymond.mao at riscstar.com>

Stock QEMU virt,aia=aplic delegates all wired IRQs from the M-mode
APLIC to its child S-mode APLIC, which prevents the local
APLIC_QEMU_WIRED_TEST path from exercising M-mode wired IRQ delivery.

Add a DT overlay that changes the M-mode APLIC delegation ranges from
1..96 to 1..9 and 11..96, leaving hwirq 10 local to the M-mode APLIC.
This matches the local test path, which uses UART RX on hwirq 10.

The overlay is intended to be applied on top of a base DTB dumped from
the same QEMU virt,aia=aplic command line, so the embedded child
phandle matches that dumped base DTB.

Usage:
- dump the base DTB from the target QEMU command line
- compile this file as a DT overlay and apply it to the dumped base DTB
- boot QEMU with the merged DTB and APLIC_QEMU_WIRED_TEST=y to verify
  M-mode wired IRQ delivery
