When the tpm module is loaded, the verifier reads entire file into
memory, measures it and uses verified content as a backing buffer for
file accesses. However, this process may result in high memory
utilization for file operations, sometimes causing a system to run out
of memory which may finally lead to boot failure. To address this issue,
among others, the commit 887f98f0d (mm: Allow dynamically requesting
additional memory regions) have optimized memory management by
dynamically allocating heap space to maximize memory usage and reduce
threat of memory exhaustion. But in some cases problems may still arise,
e.g., when large ISO images are mounted using loopback or when dealing
with embedded systems with limited memory resources.
Unfortunately current implementation of the tpm module doesn't allow
elimination of the back buffer once it is loaded. Even if the TPM device
is not present or it has been explicitly disabled. This may unnecessary
allocate a lot memory. To solve this issue, a patch has been developed
to detect the TPM status at module load and skip verifier registration
if the device is missing or deactivated. This prevents allocation of
memory for the back buffer, avoiding wasting memory when no real measure
boot functionality is performed. Disabling the TPM device in the system
can reduce memory usage in the GRUB. It is useful in scenarios where
high memory utilization is a concern and measurements of loaded
artifacts are not necessary.

The EFI_CC_MEASUREMENT_PROTOCOL abstracts the measurement for virtual firmware
in confidential computing environment. It is similar to the EFI_TCG2_PROTOCOL.
It was proposed by Intel and ARM and approved by UEFI organization.
It is defined in Intel GHCI specification: https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/726790 .
The EDKII header file is available at https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Protocol/CcMeasurement.h .

Add a number of debug logs to the tpm module. The condition tag
for opening debugging is "tpm". On TPM machines, this will bring
great convenience to diagnosis and debugging.

Although the tpm_execute() series of functions are defined they are not
used anywhere. Several structures in the include/grub/efi/tpm.h header
file are not used too. There is even nonexistent grub_tpm_init()
declaration in this header. Delete all that unneeded stuff.
If somebody needs the functionality implemented in the dropped code then
he/she can re-add it later. Now it needlessly increases the GRUB
code/image size.

grub_tpm_log_event() and grub_tpm_measure() are two functions that
have the same effect. So, keep grub_tpm_log_event() and rename it
to grub_tpm_measure(). This way we get also a more clear semantics.

The value of tpm_handle changes between successive calls to grub_tpm_handle_find(),
as instead of simply copying the stored pointer we end up taking the address of
said pointer when using the cached value of grub_tpm_handle.
This causes grub_efi_open_protocol() to return a nullptr in grub_tpm2_execute()
and grub_tpm2_log_event(). Said nullptr goes unchecked and
efi_call_5(tpm->hash_log_extend_event,...) ends up jumping to 0x0, Qemu crashes
once video ROM is reached at 0xb0000.
This patch seems to do the trick of fixing that bug, but we should also ensure
that all calls to grub_efi_open_protocol() are checked so that we don't start
executing low memory.

Add support for performing basic TPM measurements. Right now this only
supports extending PCRs statically and only on UEFI. In future we might
want to have some sort of mechanism for choosing which events get logged
to which PCRs, but this seems like a good default policy and we can wait
to see whether anyone has a use case before adding more complexity.
