The code to set the interrupt priority for secure interrupts in the
new GICv2 and GICv3 drivers is incorrect. The setup code to configure
interrupt priorities of secure interrupts, one interrupt at a time, used
gicd_write_ipriorityr()/gicr_write_ipriority() function affecting
4 interrupts at a time. This bug did not manifest itself because all the
secure interrupts were configured to the highest secure priority(0) during
cold boot and the adjacent non secure interrupt priority would be configured
later by the normal world. This patch introduces new accessors,
gicd_set_ipriorityr() and gicr_set_ipriorityr(), for configuring priority
one interrupt at a time and fixes the the setup code to use the new
accessors.

GICD_IPRIORITYR and GICD_ITARGETSR specifically support byte addressing
so that individual interrupt priorities can be atomically updated by
issuing a single byte write. The previous implementation of
gicd_set_ipriority() and gicd_set_itargetsr() used 32-bit register
accesses, modifying values for 4 interrupts at a time, using a
read-modify-write approach. This potentially may cause concurrent changes
by other CPUs to the adjacent interrupts to be corrupted. This patch fixes
the issue by modifying these accessors to use byte addressing.

This patch adds a driver for ARM GICv2 systems, example GIC-400. Unlike
the existing GIC driver in `include/drivers/arm/arm_gic.h`, this driver
is optimised for GICv2 and does not support GICv3 systems in GICv2
compatibility mode. The driver interface has been implemented in
`drivers/arm/gic/v2/gicv2_main.c`. The corresponding header is in
`include/drivers/arm/gicv2.h`. Helper functions are implemented in
`drivers/arm/gic/v2/gicv2_helpers.c` and are accessible through the
`drivers/arm/gic/v2/gicv2_private.h` header.
