We are about adding support for another GIC version, so introduce a
new --with-gic option to select the desired GIC version at configure
time. The default remains v2, preserving existing behavior. Howevere,
for GICv3, we replace the previous --enable-gicv3 option with
--with-gic=v3 which is backward-incompatible change.

I do not know how much we care about backward compatibility...
