qom: new object to associate device to NUMA node

NVIDIA GPU's support MIG (Mult-Instance GPUs) feature [1], which allows
partitioning of the GPU device resources (including device memory) into
several (upto 8) isolated instances. Each of the partitioned memory needs
a dedicated NUMA node to operate. The partitions are not fixed and they
can be created/deleted at runtime.

Unfortunately Linux OS does not provide a means to dynamically create/destroy
NUMA nodes and such feature implementation is not expected to be trivial. The
nodes that OS discovers at the boot time while parsing SRAT remains fixed. So
we utilize the Generic Initiator (GI) Affinity structures that allows
association between nodes and devices. Multiple GI structures per BDF is
possible, allowing creation of multiple nodes by exposing unique PXM in each
of these structures.

Implement the mechanism to build the GI affinity structures as Qemu currently
does not. Introduce a new acpi-generic-initiator object to allow host admin
link a device with an associated NUMA node. Qemu maintains this association
and use this object to build the requisite GI Affinity Structure.

When multiple NUMA nodes are associated with a device, it is required to
create those many number of acpi-generic-initiator objects, each representing
a unique device:node association.

Following is one of a decoded GI affinity structure in VM ACPI SRAT.

An admin can provide a range of acpi-generic-initiator objects, each
associating a device (by providing the id through pci-dev argument)
to the desired NUMA node (using the node argument). Currently, only PCI
device is supported.

For the grace hopper system, create a range of 8 nodes and associate that
with the device using the acpi-generic-initiator object. While a configuration
of less than 8 nodes per device is allowed, such configuration will prevent
utilization of the feature to the fullest. The following sample creates 8
nodes per PCI device for a VM with 2 PCI devices and link them to the
respecitve PCI device using acpi-generic-initiator objects:
