Daniel P. Berrangé 676df5b358 tools: support automatically constructing SEV-ES vCPU state
The VMSA files contain the expected CPU register state for the VM. Their
content varies based on a few pieces of the stack

  - AMD CPU architectural initial state
  - KVM hypervisor VM CPU initialization
  - QEMU userspace VM CPU initialization
  - AMD CPU SKU (family/model/stepping)

The first three pieces of information we can obtain through code
inspection. The last piece of information we can take on the command
line. This allows a user to validate a SEV-ES guest merely by providing
the CPU SKU information, using --cpu-family, --cpu-model,
--cpu-stepping. This avoids the need to obtain or construct VMSA files
directly.
