of/irq: Fix lookup to use 'interrupts-extended' property first

In case the Device Tree blob passed by the boot agent supplies both an
'interrupts-extended' and an 'interrupts' property in order to allow for
older kernels to be usable, prefer the new-style 'interrupts-extended'
property which conveys a lot more information.

This allows us to have bootloaders willingly maintaining backwards
compatibility with older kernels without entirely deprecating the
'interrupts' property.

Update the bindings documentation to describe a situation where both the
'interrupts-extended' and the 'interrupts' property are present, and
which one takes precedence over the other.

1) Interrupt client nodes
-------------------------
Nodes that describe devices which generate interrupts must contain an either an
"interrupts" property or an "interrupts-extended" property. These properties
contain a list of interrupt specifiers, one per output interrupt. The format of
the interrupt specifier is determined by the interrupt controller to which the
interrupts are routed; see section 2 below for details.
Nodes that describe devices which generate interrupts must contain an
"interrupts" property, an "interrupts-extended" property, or both. If both are
present, the latter should take precedence; the former may be provided simply
for compatibility with software that does not recognize the latter. These
properties contain a list of interrupt specifiers, one per output interrupt. The
format of the interrupt specifier is determined by the interrupt controller to
which the interrupts are routed; see section 2 below for details.
Example:
interrupt-parent = <&intc1>;
