Legacy PIC (8259) cannot be supported for TDX VMs since TDX module doesn't allow directly interrupt injection. Using posted interrupts for the PIC is not a viable option as the guest BIOS/kernel will not do EOI for PIC IRQs, i.e. will leave the vIRR bit set. Hence disable PIC for TDX VMs and error out if user wants PIC.
