drivers/interrupt_controller: Introduce multi-level interrupt support

In a scenario where a platform harbours multiple interrupts to the
extent the core cannot support it, an interrupt controller is added
as an additional level of interrupt. It typically combines several
sources of interrupt into one line that is then routed to the parent
controller.

a thread or as part of an ISR.
Multi-level Interrupt handling
==============================
A hardware platform can support more interrupt lines than natively-provided
through the use of one or more nested interrupt controllers. Sources of
hardware interrupts are combined into one line that is then routed to
the parent controller.
If nested interrupt controllers are supported, :option:`CONFIG_MULTI_LEVEL_INTERRUPTS`
should be set to 1, and :option:`CONFIG_2ND_LEVEL_INTERRUPTS` and
:option:`CONFIG_3RD_LEVEL_INTERRUPTS` configured as well, based on the
hardware architecture.
A unique 32-bit interrupt number is assigned with information
embedded in it to select and invoke the correct Interrupt
Service Routine (ISR). Each interrupt level is given a byte within this 32-bit
number, providing support for up to four interrupt levels using this arch, as
illustrated and explained below:
.. code-block:: none
9 2 0
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (LEVEL 1)
5 | A |
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (LEVEL 2)
| C B
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ (LEVEL 3)
D
There are three interrupt levels shown here.
* LEVEL 1 has 12 interrupt lines, with two lines (2 and 9) connected
to nested controllers.
* One of the LEVEL 2 controllers has interrupt line 5 connected to
a LEVEL 3 nested controller.
* The other LEVEL 2 controller has no nested controllers.
Here's how unique interrupt numbers are generated for each
hardware interrupt. Let's consider four interrupts shown above
as A, B, C, and D:
.. code-block:: none
A -> 0x00000004
B -> 0x00000302
C -> 0x00000409
D -> 0x00030609
.. note::
The bit positions for LEVEL 2 and onward are offset by 1, as 0 means that
interrupt number is not present for that level.

Multiple levels of interrupts are normally used to increase the
number of addressable interrupts in a system. For e.g., if 2 levels
of interrupts are used, the 2nd level controller would combine all
interrupts routed to it into one line which then gets routed to one
of the lines in 1st level interrupt controller.
