x86/virt/seamldr: Introduce a wrapper for P-SEAMLDR SEAMCALLs

The TDX architecture uses the "SEAMCALL" instruction to communicate with
SEAM mode software. Right now, the only SEAM mode software that the kernel
communicates with is the TDX module. But, there is actually another
component that runs in SEAM mode but it is separate from the TDX module:
the persistent SEAM loader or "P-SEAMLDR". Right now, the only component
that communicates with it is the BIOS which loads the TDX module itself at
boot. But, to support updating the TDX module, the kernel now needs to be
able to talk to it.

P-SEAMLDR SEAMCALLs differ from TDX module SEAMCALLs in areas such as
concurrency requirements.

Add a P-SEAMLDR wrapper to handle these differences and prepare for
implementing concrete functions.

Use seamcall_prerr() (not '_ret') because current P-SEAMLDR calls do not
use any output registers other than RAX.

Note: Despite the similar name, the NP-SEAMLDR ("Non-Persistent")
(ACM) invoked exclusively by the BIOS at boot rather than a component
running in SEAM mode. The kernel cannot call it at runtime. It exposes
no SEAMCALL interface.
