I'll separate the "phase" from the "type".

Here phase is used for the life-cycle of EPC pages:

DIRTY -> FREE -> IN-USE -> DIRTY

Errors can be reported by memory controller page scrubbers
for pages that are not "IN-USE" ... and the recovery action is
just to make sure that they are never allocated.

When a page is IN-USE ... it has a "type". I currently
only have a way to inject errors into SGX_PAGE_TYPE_REG
pages. That means initial recovery code is going to focus on
those since that is all I can test. But I'll try not to special case
them as far as possible.
