[PATCH] hw/arm/nvic: implement "num-prio-bits" property

[Anton Kochkov]

Cortex-M NVIC can be configured with different amount of
the maximum available priority bits. FreeRTOS has asserts
that checks if the all unavailable priority bits are unset
after writing into this register in real hardware.
To allow setting this number depending on the machine or
configuration expose priority bits as QDev property
which is by default is set to 8 as it was hardcoded in the past.
Thus, existing code doesn't require any additional changes,
and it doesn't change the default behavior of NVIC.
