[PATCH v2 5/6] hw/arm/virt: kvm: Check the chosen gic version is supported by the host

[Eric Auger]

Restructure the finalize_gic_version with switch cases and, in
KVM mode, explictly check whether the chosen version is supported
by the host.

if the end-user explicitly sets v2/v3 and this is not supported by
the host, then the user gets an explicit error message.
