Old TDX modules can clobber RBP in the TDH.VP.ENTER SEAMCALL.  However
RBP is used as frame pointer in the x86_64 calling convention, and
clobbering RBP could result in bad things like being unable to unwind
the stack if any non-maskable exceptions (NMI, #MC etc) happens in that
gap.

A new "NO_RBP_MOD" feature was introduced to more recent TDX modules to
not clobber RBP.  This feature is reported in the TDX_FEATURES0 global
metadata field via bit 18.

Don't initialize the TDX module if this feature is not supported [1].
