virt: Add TDX guest driver

TDX guest driver exposes IOCTL interfaces to service TDX guest
user-specific requests. Currently, it is only used to allow the user to
get the TDREPORT to support TDX attestation.

Details about the TDX attestation process are documented in
Documentation/x86/tdx.rst, and the IOCTL details are documented in
Documentation/virt/coco/tdx-guest.rst.

Operations like getting TDREPORT involves sending a blob of data as
input and getting another blob of data as output. It was considered
to use a sysfs interface for this, but it doesn't fit well into the
standard sysfs model for configuring values. It would be possible to
do read/write on files, but it would need multiple file descriptors,
which would be somewhat messy. IOCTLs seem to be the best fitting
and simplest model for this use case. The AMD sev-guest driver also
uses the IOCTL interface to support attestation.
