Currently NuttX on Arm64 supports Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC) Versions 3 and 4: [`arm64_gicv3.c`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm64/src/common/arm64_gicv3.c), [`arm64_gic.h`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm64/src/common/arm64_gic.h). This PR adds support for GIC Version 2, which is needed by [Pine64 PinePhone](https://lupyuen.github.io/articles/interrupt) based on Allwinner A64 SoC.
This 64-bit implementation of GIC v2 is mostly identical to the existing GIC v2 for 32-bit Armv7-A ([`armv7-a/arm_gicv2.c`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm/src/armv7-a/arm_gicv2.c), [`armv7-a/gic.h`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm/src/armv7-a/gic.h)), with minor modifications to support 64-bit Registers (Interrupt Context).
- `arch/arm64/Kconfig`: Under "ARM64 Options", we added an integer option `ARM_GIC_VERSION` ("GIC version") that selects the GIC Version. Valid values are 2, 3 and 4, default is 3.
- `arch/arm64/src/common/arm64_gicv2.c`: Implements 64-bit GIC v2 based on 32-bit [`armv7-a/arm_gicv2.c`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm/src/armv7-a/arm_gicv2.c) and [`armv7-a/gic.h`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm/src/armv7-a/gic.h), modified to support 64-bit Registers (Interrupt Context).
Function and Macro Names have not been changed, for easier cross-referencing between the 32-bit and 64-bit implementations of GIC v2.
- `arch/arm64/src/common/arm64_gicv3.c`: Added Conditional Compilation for GIC v3. This file will not be compiled if `ARM_GIC_VERSION` is 2.
- `arch/arm64/src/common/arm64_gic.h`: Added the Version Identifier for GIC v2. At startup we read the GIC Version from hardware and verify that it matches `ARM_GIC_VERSION`.
- `arch/arm64/include/qemu/chip.h`: Added the QEMU Base Addresses for GIC v2.
- `arch/arm64/src/common/Make.defs`: Added the source file that implements GIC v2.
- `boards/arm64/qemu/qemu-armv8a/README.txt`: Added the documentation for testing GIC v2 with QEMU.
- `boards/arm64/qemu/qemu-armv8a/configs/nsh_gicv2/defconfig`: Added the Board Configuration `qemu-armv8a:nsh_gicv2` for testing GIC v2 with QEMU. Identical to `qemu-armv8a:nsh`, except that `ARM_GIC_VERSION` is 2.
Use CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_QEMU instead of CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_QEMU_A53. This is because these configurations depend on the hardware configuration of qemu (memory map, irq numbers, etc.).

Summary:
Arm64 support for NuttX, Features supported:
1. Cortex-a53 single core and SMP support: it's can run into nsh shell at
qemu virt machine.
2. qemu-a53 board configuration support: it's only for evaluate propose
3. FPU support for armv8-a: FPU context switching at NEON/floating-point
TRAP is supported.
4. psci interface, armv8 cache operation(data cache) and smccc support.
5. fix mass code style issue, thank for @xiaoxiang781216, @hartmannathan @pkarashchenko
Please refer to boards/arm64/qemu/qemu-a53/README.txt for detail
Note:
1. GCC MACOS issue
The GCC 11.2 toolchain for MACOS may get crash while compiling
float operation function, the following link describe the issue
and give analyse at the issue:
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5825
it's seem GCC give a wrong instruction at certain machine which
without architecture features
the new toolchain is not available still, so just disable the MACOS
cibuild check at present
