[PATCH v2] ARM: DT: Add binding for GIC virtualization extentions (VGIC)

The GICv2 can have virtualization extension support, consisting
of an additional set of registers and interrupts. Add the necessary
binding to the GIC DT documentation.

+* GIC virtualization extensions (VGIC)
+
+For ARM cores that support the virtualization extensions, additional
+properties must be described (they only exist if the GIC is the
+primary interrupt controller).

+Required properties:
+
+- reg : Additional regions specifying the base physical address and
+  size of the VGIC registers. The first additional region is the GIC
+  virtual interface control register base and size. The 2nd additional
+  region is the GIC virtual cpu interface register base and size.
