Add a TPM Passthrough backend driver implementation

This patch is based of off version 9 of Stefan Berger's patch series
  "QEMU Trusted Platform Module (TPM) integration"
and adds a new backend driver for it.

This patch adds a passthrough backend driver for passing commands sent to the
emulated TPM device directly to a TPM device opened on the host machine.
Thus it is possible to use a hardware TPM device in a system running on QEMU,
providing the ability to access a TPM in a special state (e.g. after a Trusted
Boot).

This functionality is being used in the acTvSM Trusted Virtualization Platform
which is available on [1].

Usage example:
  qemu-system-x86_64 -tpmdev passthrough,id=tpm0,path=/dev/tpm0 \
                     -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0 \
                     -cdrom test.iso -boot d

Some notes about the host TPM:
The TPM needs to be enabled and activated. If that's not the case one
has to go through the BIOS/UEFI and enable and activate that TPM for TPM
commands to work as expected.
It may be necessary to boot the kernel using tpm_tis.force=1 in the boot
command line or 'modprobe tpm_tis force=1' in case of using it as a module.

Regards,
Andreas Niederl, Stefan Berger

+(Linux-host only) Enable access to the host's TPM using the passthrough
+driver.
+
+@option{path} specifies the path to the host's TPM device, i.e., on
+a Linux host this would be @code{/dev/tpm0}.
+@option{path} is optional and by default @code{/dev/tpm0} is used.
+
+Some notes about using the host's TPM with the passthrough driver:
+
+The TPM device accessed by the passthrough driver must not be
+used by any other application on the host.
+
+Since the host's firmware (BIOS/UEFI) has already initialized the TPM,
+the VM's firmware (BIOS/UEFI) will not be able to initialize the
+TPM again and may therefore not show a TPM-specific menu that would
+otherwise allow the user to configure the TPM, e.g., allow the user to
+enable/disable or activate/deactivate the TPM.
+Further, if TPM ownership is released from within a VM then the host's TPM
+will get disabled and deactivated. To enable and activate the
+TPM again afterwards, the host has to be rebooted and the user is
+required to enter the firmware's menu to enable and activate the TPM.
+If the TPM is left disabled and/or deactivated most TPM commands will fail.
+
+To create a passthrough TPM use the following two options:
+@example
+-tpmdev passthrough,id=tpm0 -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0
+@end example
+Note that the @code{-tpmdev} id is @code{tpm0} and is referenced by
+@code{tpmdev=tpm0} in the device option.
