Add to iommu domain operations a set of callbacks to perform dirty
tracking, particulary to start and stop tracking and to read and clear the
dirty data.

Drivers are generally expected to dynamically change its translation
structures to toggle the tracking and flush some form of control state
structure that stands in the IOVA translation path. Though it's not
mandatory, as drivers can also enable dirty tracking at boot, and just
clear the dirty bits before setting dirty tracking. For each of the newly
added IOMMU core APIs:

iommu_cap::IOMMU_CAP_DIRTY: new device iommu_capable value when probing for
capabilities of the device.

.set_dirty_tracking(): an iommu driver is expected to change its
translation structures and enable dirty tracking for the devices in the
iommu_domain. For drivers making dirty tracking always-enabled, it should
just return 0.

.read_and_clear_dirty(): an iommu driver is expected to walk the pagetables
for the iova range passed in and use iommu_dirty_bitmap_record() to record
dirty info per IOVA. When detecting that a given IOVA is dirty it should
also clear its dirty state from the PTE, *unless* the flag
IOMMU_DIRTY_NO_CLEAR is passed in -- flushing is steered from the caller of
the domain_op via iotlb_gather. The iommu core APIs use the same data
structure in use for dirty tracking for VFIO device dirty (struct
iova_bitmap) abstracted by iommu_dirty_bitmap_record() helper function.

domain::dirty_ops: IOMMU domains will store the dirty ops depending on
whether the iommu device supports dirty tracking or not. iommu drivers can
then use this field to figure if the dirty tracking is supported+enforced
on attach. The enforcement is enable via domain_alloc_user() which is done
via IOMMUFD hwpt flag introduced later.
