thunderbolt: Add support for preboot ACL



Preboot ACL is a mechanism that allows connecting Thunderbolt devices
boot time in more secure way than the legacy Thunderbolt boot support.
As with the legacy boot option, this also needs to be enabled from the
BIOS before booting is allowed. Difference to the legacy mode is that
the userspace software explicitly adds device UUIDs by sending a special
message to the ICM firmware. Only the devices listed in the boot ACL are
connected automatically during the boot. This works in both "user" and
"secure" security levels.

We implement this in Linux by exposing a new sysfs attribute (boot_acl)
below each Thunderbolt domain. The userspace software can then update
the full list as needed.
