spapr: introduce a fixed IRQ number space


This proposal introduces a new IRQ number space layout using static
numbers for all devices, depending on a device index, and a bitmap
allocator for the MSI IRQ numbers which are negotiated by the guest at
runtime.

As the VIO device model does not have a device index but a "reg"
property, we introduce a formula to compute an IRQ number from a "reg"
value. It should minimize most of the collisions.

The previous layout is kept in pre-3.1 machines raising the
'legacy_irq_allocation' machine class flag.
