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.

+For ARM cores that support the virtualization extensions, additional

+Required properties:
+
+- reg : Additional regions specifying the base physical address and

+ region is the GIC virtual cpu interface register base and size.
