The TDX module provides a set of "Global Metadata Fields".  They report

Currently the kernel only reads "TD Memory Region" (TDMR) related fields
for module initialization.  There are immediate needs which require the
TDX module initialization to read more global metadata including module
version, supported features and "Convertible Memory Regions" (CMRs).

Also, KVM will need to read more metadata fields to support baseline TDX
guests.  In the longer term, other TDX features like TDX Connect (which
supports assigning trusted IO devices to TDX guest) may also require
other kernel components such as pci/vt-d to access global metadata.

To meet all those requirements, the idea is the TDX host core-kernel to
to provide a centralized, canonical, and read-only structure for the
global metadata that comes out from the TDX module for all kernel
components to use.

As the first step, introduce a new 'struct tdx_sys_info' to track all
global metadata fields.

TDX categories global metadata fields into different "Classes".  E.g.,
the TDMR related fields are under class "TDMR Info".  Instead of making
'struct tdx_sys_info' a plain structure to contain all metadata fields,
organize them in smaller structures based on the "Class".

This allows those metadata fields to be used in finer granularity thus
makes the code more clear.  E.g., the construct_tdmr() can just take the
structure which contains "TDMR Info" metadata fields.

Add a new function get_tdx_sys_info() as the placeholder to read all
metadata fields, and call it at the beginning of init_tdx_module().  For
now it only calls get_tdx_sys_info_tdmr() to read TDMR related fields.

Note there is a functional change: get_tdx_sys_info_tdmr() is moved from
after build_tdx_memlist() to before it, but it is fine to do so.
