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.

Description: Holds a comma separated list of device unique_ids that
are allowed to be connected automatically during system
startup (e.g boot devices). The list always contains
maximum supported number of unique_ids where unused
entries are empty. This allows the userspace software
to determine how many entries the controller supports.
If there are multiple controllers, each controller has
its own ACL list and size may be different between the
controllers.
System BIOS may have an option "Preboot ACL" or similar
that needs to be selected before this list is taken into
consideration.
Software always updates a full list in each write.
If a device is authorized automatically during boot its
boot attribute is set to 1.
