Introduce compatible "qcom,scmi-hvc-shmem" for SCMI smc/hvc
transport channel for Qualcomm virtual platforms.
The compatible mandates a shared memory channel.

Can it be simply "qcom,scmi-smc" for 2 reasons ?
1. We don't support SMC/HVC without shmem, so what is your argument to add
    '-shmem' in the compatible here ?

In our platforms, there are multiple ways to allocate memory. One is preallocated shmem as used here, another is dynamically by hypervisor APIs. shmem was to just to indicate it is preallocated.


2. The exact conduit(SMC/HVC) used is detected runtime, so I prefer to keep
   '-smc' instead of '-hvc' in the compatible just to avoid giving an illusion
   that HVC is the conduit chosen here based on the compatible. It can be true
   for other reason but I don't want to mislead here by using HVC.

IUUC, currently, conduit comes from PSCI dt node. We have been using smc for PSCI but want to use hvc here. That being said, I am fine to explore if we can change PSCI to use hvc too.
