Add driver for the vTPM defined by the AMD SVSM spec [1].

The specification defines a protocol that a SEV-SNP guest OS can use to
discover and talk to a vTPM emulated by the Secure VM Service Module (SVSM) in
the guest context, but at a more privileged level (VMPL0).

The new tpm-svsm platform driver uses API exposed by the x86/sev core
implementation interface to a SVSM to send commands and receive responses.

The device cannot be hot-plugged/unplugged as it is emulated by the platform,
so module_platform_driver_probe() can be used. The device will be registered
by the platform only when it's available, so the probe function just needs to
setup the tpm_chip.

This device does not support interrupts and sends responses to commands
synchronously.

In order to have .recv() called just after .send() in tpm_try_transmit(), the
.status() callback is not implemented as recently supported by commit

  980a573621ea ("tpm: Make chip->{status,cancel,req_canceled} opt").
