For confidential guests, guest_memfd is currently used only for private
guest memory, and normal guest memory comes from the configured memory
backend just as it does for a non-confidential guest. It is now possible
to use the same physical memory to back a particular GPA regardless of
whether it is in a shared or private state. This avoids the need to
rely on discarding memory between shared/private conversions (to avoid
doubled memory usage), and is intended to be the primary mode of using
guest_memfd for confidential guests moving forward, and future features
like hugepage support will likely require it.

Add an option to enable this support. Since ConfidentialGuestSupport is
already used to track some guest_memfd-related functionality (e.g.
whether it is required for the configured machine), similarly introduce
this option as a property of ConfidentialGuestSupport.

Also add the KVM-specific checks to enable this support, but leave the
option disabled until other required changes are implemented for
CGS variants that intend to make use of KVM's in-place conversion
support.

While technically the convert-in-place option could be introduced as an
SEV-specific option, it is a given that TDX will also be introducing
in-place conversion support based on the same guest_memfd kernel
infrastructure, so introduce it via a new
ConfidentialGuestSupportProperties base class that other confidential VM
implementations can utilized for common options.
