TDX Guest driver support is problematic: configfs-tsm currently does not allow to request bare TD reports. It's always a signed TD quote that needs exits to QGS for signing. However, for the initdata checks, we only need the TD report. Linux still supports the /dev/tdx_guest ioctl() for getting the report. Since the early days, we have used libtdx-attest wrappers for the ioctls(). However, getting the C libraries and headers installed in various places has turned out to be problematic. Furthermore, it isn't even necessary for uses cases like kbs-client (where only the configfs-tsm GetQuote is needed). Move the get_report() method to use raw ioctls() using iocuddle. This follows the sev crate implementation and which turns out to be very simple to adopt here too. Signed-off-by: Mikko Ylinen <mikko.ylinen@intel.com>
For the use-cases needed by CoCo and supported by upstream Linux, we don't need libtdx-attest so make the dependency a build-time opt-in feature. Signed-off-by: Mikko Ylinen <mikko.ylinen@intel.com>

For configurations where the out-of-tree RTMR extend ioctl() is available and/or the libtdx-attest supported way to get the TD quote is needed, add a customized tdx-attester feature that provides this. This new feature is disabled by default. Signed-off-by: Mikko Ylinen <mikko.ylinen@intel.com>
