[PATCH v3 2/3] hw/arm/armv7m: alias the NVIC "num-prio-bits" property

[Samuel Tardieu]

A SoC will not have a direct access to the NVIC embedded in its ARM
core. By aliasing the "num-prio-bits" property similarly to what is
done for the "num-irq" one, a SoC can easily configure it on its
armv7m instance.
