[RFC PATCH 12/12] docs: add RISC-V Worlds next-wid/next-widlist DT properties

Add device tree bindings for RISC-V Worlds support in OpenSBI
domains. These properties enable per-domain world isolation.

Per-domain properties:
  * next-wid - Sets mlwid CSR (requires Smlwid extension)
  * next-widlist - Sets mwiddeleg CSR (requires Smwiddeleg extension)

ROOT domain properties (in /chosen/opensbi-config):
  * root-domain-next-wid - mlwid for ROOT domain
  * root-domain-next-widlist - mwiddeleg for ROOT domain
