hw/arm: add versioning to sbsa-ref machine DT


The sbsa-ref machine is continuously evolving. Some of the changes we
want to make in the near future, to align with real components (e.g.
the GIC-700), will break compatibility for existing firmware.

Introduce two new properties to the DT generated on machine generation:
- machine-version-major
  To be incremented when a platform change makes the machine
  incompatible with existing firmware.
- machine-version-minor
  To be incremented when functionality is added to the machine
  without causing incompatibility with existing firmware.
  to be reset to 0 when machine-version-major is incremented.

This versioning scheme is *neither*:
- A QEMU versioned machine type; a given version of QEMU will emulate
  a given version of the platform.
- A reflection of level of SBSA (now SystemReady SR) support provided.

The version will increment on guest-visible functional changes only,
akin to a revision ID register found on a physical platform.

These properties are both introduced with the value 0.
(Hence, a machine where the DT is lacking these nodes is equivalent
to version 0.0.)
