update CLICINTCTLBITS parameter description #369

Closed dansmathers closed 6 months ago

dansmathers commented 7 months ago

Separated software interface from CLIC parameters that describe the number of implemented bits. As described in issues #158, #171, #226, implementations may wish to optimize clicintattr.mode/clicintctl behavior. This change adds a parameter that specifies the WARL values of clicintctl so implementations have more freedom in how they implement clicintattr.mode/clicintctl and do not have to depend on CLICINTCTLBITS restrictions.
