Documentation: Update IRQ-domain.txt to document irq_domain_mapping
irq_domain_mapping is a rather useful tool to understand how IRqs are mapped in irqdomains, and yet it is not documented anywhere. Let's address this.

+Hierarchy irq_domain is in no way x86 specific, and is heavily used to
+support other architectures, such as ARM, ARM64 etc.
+
+=== Debugging ===
+
+If you switch on CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN_DEBUG (which depends on
+CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN and CONFIG_DEBUG_FS), you will find a new file in
+your debugfs mount point, called irq_domain_mapping. This file
+contains a live snapshot of all the IRQ domains in the system:
+
+ name mapped linear-max direct-max devtree-node
+ pl061 8 8 0 /smb/gpio@e0080000
+ pl061 8 8 0 /smb/gpio@e1050000

+ GICv2 448 448 0 /interrupt-controller@e1101000
+
+it also iterates over the interrupts to display their mapping in the
+domains, and makes the domain stacking visible:

+are build out of a stack of three domain, each level performing a
