Add a note on CPU features that are off by default in `virt` machines.
Some CPU features will remain off even if a CPU-capable CPU (e.g.,
`-cpu max`) is selected because they require support in both the CPU
itself and in the wider system. Therefore, the user, besides selecting a
CPU that supports such features, must also turn on the feature using a
machine option.

Implement a model of the Neoverse N2 CPU. This is an Armv9.0-A
processor very similar to the Cortex-A710. The differences are:
* no FEAT_EVT
* FEAT_DGH (data gathering hint)
* FEAT_NV (not yet implemented in QEMU)
* Statistical Profiling Extension (not implemented in QEMU)
* 48 bit physical address range, not 40
* CTR_EL0.DIC = 1 (no explicit icache cleaning needed)
* PMCR_EL0.N = 6 (always 6 PMU counters, not 20)
Because it has 48-bit physical address support, we can use
this CPU in the sbsa-ref board as well as the virt board.

The Cortex-A55 is one of the newer armv8.2+ CPUs; in particular
it supports the Privileged Access Never (PAN) feature. Add
a model of this CPU, so you can use a CPU type on the virt
board that models a specific real hardware CPU, rather than
having to use the QEMU-specific "max" CPU type.

The 3 high memory regions are usually enabled by default, but they may
be not used. For example, VIRT_HIGH_GIC_REDIST2 isn't needed by GICv2.
This leads to waste in the PA space.
Add properties ("highmem-redists", "highmem-ecam", "highmem-mmio") to
allow users selectively disable them if needed. After that, the high
memory region for GICv3 or GICv4 redistributor can be disabled by user,
the number of maximal supported CPUs needs to be calculated based on
'vms->highmem_redists'. The follow-up error message is also improved
to indicate if the high memory region for GICv3 and GICv4 has been
enabled or not.

After the improvement to high memory region address assignment is
applied, the memory layout can be changed, introducing possible
migration breakage. For example, VIRT_HIGH_PCIE_MMIO memory region
is disabled or enabled when the optimization is applied or not, with
the following configuration. The configuration is only achievable by
modifying the source code until more properties are added to allow
users selectively disable those high memory regions.
pa_bits = 40;
vms->highmem_redists = false;
vms->highmem_ecam = false;
vms->highmem_mmio = true;
# qemu-system-aarch64 -accel kvm -cpu host \
-machine virt-7.2,compact-highmem={on, off} \
-m 4G,maxmem=511G -monitor stdio
Region compact-highmem=off compact-highmem=on
----------------------------------------------------------------
MEM [1GB 512GB] [1GB 512GB]
HIGH_GIC_REDISTS2 [512GB 512GB+64MB] [disabled]
HIGH_PCIE_ECAM [512GB+256MB 512GB+512MB] [disabled]
HIGH_PCIE_MMIO [disabled] [512GB 1TB]
In order to keep backwords compatibility, we need to disable the
optimization on machine, which is virt-7.1 or ealier than it. It
means the optimization is enabled by default from virt-7.2. Besides,
'compact-highmem' property is added so that the optimization can be
explicitly enabled or disabled on all machine types by users.

In 60592cfed2 ("hw/arm/virt: dt: add kaslr-seed property"), the
kaslr-seed property was added, but the equally as important rng-seed
property was forgotten about, which has identical semantics for a
similar purpose. This commit implements it in exactly the same way as
kaslr-seed. It then changes the name of the disabling option to reflect
that this has more to do with randomness vs determinism, rather than
something particular about kaslr.

Add support for the TCG GICv4 to the virt board. For the board,
the GICv4 is very similar to the GICv3, with the only difference
being the size of the redistributor frame. The changes here are thus:
* calculating virt_redist_capacity correctly for GICv4
* changing various places which were "if GICv3" to be "if not GICv2"
* the commandline option handling
Note that using GICv4 reduces the maximum possible number of CPUs on
the virt board from 512 to 317, because we can now only fit half as
many redistributors into the redistributor regions we have defined.

components having random data in the DTB will cause verification to

In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted
text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged
with a specific "role":
https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text
(the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets
hyperlinked").
The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference",
intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders
into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics).
This commit fixes various places in the manual which were
using single backticks when double backticks (for literal text)
were intended, and covers those files where only one or two
instances of these errors were made.
