[Skiboot] [RFC PATCH skiboot] npu2: Add nvlink2 interconnect information

GPUs on Redbud and Sequoia platforms are interconnected between each
other in groups of 2 or 3 GPUs. The problem with that is if we decide
to pass one of GPUs in a group to the userspace (and potentially a guest),
we need to make sure that interconnectd link does not get enabled.

The GPU firmware provides a way to disable links on a GPU. However we
want to disable only links to other GPUs which are not in the same guest
so we need a map of what nvlink is connected to what.

This adds an "ibm,nvlinks" property to every GPU in a "GPUn" slot
with phandles to peer GPUs and NPU PHB, the index in the property is GPU's
link number.
