crypto: Add tls-cipher-suites object
On the host OS, various aspects of TLS operation are configurable.
In particular it is possible for the sysadmin to control the TLS
cipher/protocol algorithms that applications are permitted to use.

* Any given crypto library has a built-in default priority list
  defined by the distro maintainer of the library package (or by
  upstream).

* The "crypto-policies" RPM (or equivalent host OS package)
  provides a config file such as "/etc/crypto-policies/config",
  where the sysadmin can set a high level (library-independent)
  policy.

  The "update-crypto-policies --set" command (or equivalent) is
  used to translate the global policy to individual library
  representations, producing files such as
  "/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/*.config". The generated files,
  if present, are loaded by the various crypto libraries to
  override their own built-in defaults.

  For example, the GNUTLS library may read
  "/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/gnutls.config".

* A management application (or the QEMU user) may overide the
  system-wide crypto-policies config via their own config, if
  they need to diverge from the former.

Thus the priority order is "QEMU user config" > "crypto-policies
system config" > "library built-in config".

Introduce the "tls-cipher-suites" object for exposing the ordered
list of permitted TLS cipher suites from the host side to the
guest firmware, via fw_cfg. The list is represented as an array
of bytes.

The priority at which the host-side policy is retrieved is given
by the "priority" property of the new object type. For example,
"priority=@SYSTEM" may be used to refer to
"/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/gnutls.config" (given that QEMU
uses GNUTLS).

The firmware uses the IANA_TLS_CIPHER array for configuring
guest-side TLS, for example in UEFI HTTPS Boot.
