This patch moves the private GIC common accessors from `gic_common.h` to
a new private header file `gic_common_private.h`. This patch also adds
additional comments to GIC register accessors to highlight the fact
that some of them access register values that correspond to multiple
interrupt IDs. The convention used is that the `set`, `get` and `clr`
accessors access and modify the values corresponding to a single interrupt
ID whereas the `read` and `write` GIC register accessors access the raw
GIC registers and it could correspond to multiple interrupt IDs depending
on the register accessed.

This patch adds a driver for ARM GICv3 systems that need to run software
stacks where affinity routing is enabled across all privileged exception
levels for both security states. This driver is a partial implementation
of the ARM Generic Interrupt Controller Architecture Specification, GIC
architecture version 3.0 and version 4.0 (ARM IHI 0069A). The driver does
not cater for legacy support of interrupts and asymmetric configurations.

The existing GIC driver has been preserved unchanged. The common code for
GICv2 and GICv3 systems has been refactored into a new file,
`drivers/arm/gic/common/gic_common.c`. The corresponding header is in
`include/drivers/arm/gic_common.h`.

The driver interface is implemented in `drivers/arm/gic/v3/gicv3_main.c`.
The corresponding header is in `include/drivers/arm/gicv3.h`. Helper
functions are implemented in `drivers/arm/gic/v3/arm_gicv3_helpers.c`
and are accessible through the `drivers/arm/gic/v3/gicv3_private.h`
header.
