arm: add fw_cfg to "virt" board

fw_cfg already supports exposure over MMIO (used in ppc/mac_newworld.c,
ppc/mac_oldworld.c, sparc/sun4m.c); we can easily add it to the "virt"
board.

Because MMIO access is slow on ARM KVM, we enable the guest, with
fw_cfg_init_mem_wide(), to transfer up to 8 bytes with a single access.
This has been measured to speed up transfers up to 7.5-fold, relative to
single byte data access, on both ARM KVM and x86_64 TCG.

The MMIO register block of fw_cfg is advertized in the device tree. As
base address we pick 0x09020000, which conforms to the comment preceding
"a15memmap": it falls in the miscellaneous device I/O range 128MB..256MB,
and it is aligned at 64KB. The DTB properties follow the documentation in
the Linux source file "Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/fw-cfg.txt".

fw_cfg automatically exports a number of files to the guest; for example,
"bootorder" (see fw_cfg_machine_reset()).
