hw/intc/arm_gicv3: Support configurable number of physical priority bits


The GICv3 code has always supported a configurable number of virtual
priority and preemption bits, but our implementation currently
hardcodes the number of physical priority bits at 8.  This is not
what most hardware implementations provide; for instance the
Cortex-A53 provides only 5 bits of physical priority.

Make the number of physical priority/preemption bits driven by fields
in the GICv3CPUState, the way that we already do for virtual
priority/preemption bits.  We set cs->pribits to 8, so there is no
behavioural change in this commit.  A following commit will add the
machinery for CPUs to set this to the correct value for their
implementation.

Note that changing the number of priority bits would be a migration
compatibility break, because the semantics of the icc_apr[][] array
changes.
