dt-binding: cpu-topology: Move cpu-map to a common binding.

cpu-map binding can be used to described cpu topology for both
RISC-V & ARM. It makes more sense to move the binding to document
to a common place.

The relevant discussion can be found here.

CPU topology bindings allow one to associate cpu nodes with hierarchical groups
corresponding to the system hierarchy; syntactically they are defined as device
tree nodes.
The remainder of this document provides the topology bindings for ARM, based
on the Devicetree Specification, available from:
Currently, only ARM/RISC-V intend to use this cpu topology binding but it may be
used for any other architecture as well.

The cpu nodes, as per bindings defined in [4], represent the devices that
correspond to physical CPUs and are to be mapped to the hierarchy levels.
If not stated otherwise, whenever a reference to a cpu node phandle is made its
value must point to a cpu node compliant with the cpu node bindings as
documented in [1].
A topology description containing phandles to cpu nodes that are not compliant
with bindings standardized in [1] is therefore considered invalid.
