Keith Adler cdbe43f423 hypervisor: kvm: Add GUEST_MEMFD and KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2 support
Add support for guest_memfd (available in Linux kernel v6.8+), which
enables private memory for confidential VMs.

Key changes:
- Introduce UserMemoryRegion abstraction with guest_memfd fields
- Add From impls between kvm_userspace_memory_region2 and UserMemoryRegion
- Convert all KVM memory region operations from kvm_userspace_memory_region
  to kvm_userspace_memory_region2, with automatic fallback to v1 when
  guest_memfd is not supported
- Add set_user_memory_region() wrapper that dispatches to v1/v2 based on
  kvm_guest_memfd_supported capability
- Create guest_memfd via KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD ioctl when supported
- Extend KvmDirtyLogSlot to preserve region2 fields across dirty log
  start/stop cycles

This is prerequisite infrastructure for KVM-based confidential computing
that requires private guest memory backed by guest_memfd.
