[XEN v4 11/11] xen/Arm: GICv3: Enable GICv3 for AArch32
One can now use GICv3 on AArch32 systems. However, ITS is not supported.
The reason being currently we are trying to validate GICv3 on an AArch32_v8R
system. Refer ARM DDI 0568A.c ID110520, B1.3.1,
"A Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC) implemented with an Armv8-R PE must not
implement LPI support."

By default GICv3 is disabled on AArch32 and enabled on AArch64.

Updated SUPPORT.md to state that GICv3 on Arm32 is not security supported.

Changed from :-
v1 - 1. Remove "ARM_64 || ARM_32" as it is always true.
2. Updated SUPPORT.md.

v2 - 1. GICv3 is enabled by default only on ARM_64.
2. Updated SUPPORT.md.

v3 - 1. GICv3 is not selected by ARM_64. Rather, it is optionally
enabled.
2. GICv3 is disabled by default on ARM_32.

Or you could use the following wording (used on x86 in similar
circumstances):

"If unsure, use the default setting."
