x86/sev: Add a sev= cmdline option
For debugging purposes it is very useful to have a way to see the full
contents of the SNP CPUID table provided to a guest. Add an sev=debug
kernel command-line option to do so.
Also introduce some infrastructure so that additional options can be
specified via sev=option1[,option2] over time in a consistent manner.
[ bp: Massage, simplify string parsing. ]
