[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server v8 1/3] add C program to get hardware capabilities from CPUID

Implement a systemd service that runs a C program that extracts AMD
SEV hardware information such as reduced-phys-bios and cbitpos from
CPUID at boot time, looks if SEV, SEV-ES & SEV-SNP are enabled, and
outputs these details as JSON to /run/qemu-server/hw-params.json.

This programm can also be used to read and save other hardware
information at boot time.

v8:
* renamed query-machine-params to query-machine-capabilities

v7:
* renamed amd-sev-support to query-machine-params
* mv /run/amd-sev-params to /run/qemu-server/hw-params.json
* add "mkdir /run/qemu-server" to ensure that the directory exists
* moved json content to amd-sev property inside a bigger json
 so that other hardware parameters could also be read at boot time and
 included in this json file.
