This change introduces a new TPM backend driver that can
communicate with
swtpm(software TPM emulator) using unix domain socket interface.

Swtpm uses two unix sockets, one for plain TPM commands and
responses, and one
for out-of-band control messages.

The swtpm and associated tools can be found here:
      https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm

The swtpm's control channel protocol specification can be found
here:

cification

Usage:
      # setup TPM state directory
      mkdir /tmp/mytpm
      chown -R tss:root /tmp/mytpm
      /usr/bin/swtpm_setup --tpm-state /tmp/mytpm --createek

      # Ask qemu to use TPM emulator with given tpm state directory
      qemu-system-x86_64 \
          [...] \
          -tpmdev
emulator,id=tpm0,tpmstatedir=/tmp/mytpm,logfile=/tmp/swtpm.log \
          -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0 \

Since you are not supporting migration in this patch, you probably
have
to add a migrate_add_blocker() call somewhere along the lines of this
here:

https://github.com/stefanberger/qemu-tpm/commit/27d332dc3b2c6bfd0fcd3
8e69f5c899651f3a5d8#diff-3a0192eef5d20837af490c32bf396f4eR641

I need to dig a bit and femiliarize myself about 'migration' support, I
guess i can send it as a separate patch ?

Fine by me.
