These commands can be used to pause servicing of guest attestation
requests. This useful when updating the reported TCB or signing key with
commands such as SNP_SET_CONFIG/SNP_COMMIT/SNP_VLEK_LOAD, since they may
in turn require updates to userspace-supplied certificates, and if an
attestation request happens to be in-flight at the time those updates
are occurring there is potential for a guest to receive a certificate
blob that is out of sync with the effective signing key for the
attestation report.

These interfaces also provide some versatility with how similar
firmware/certificate update activities can be handled in the future.
