We already have support to save and restore GuC VF state, but that
will only work when the target VF configuration (provisioning) will
be exactly the same as the source VF configuration. To help with
assuring that both configurations match, allow to encode whole VF
configuration that can be saved as blob and restored later.
In the future we may want to use such captured configuration blobs
as templates to make sure we provision VFs with exactly the same
configuration that was previously tested or recommended, or when
debugfs knobs are not be available.

Our debugfs allows to view and change VFs' provisioning configs.
If we attempt to experiment with VFs provisioning before enabling
them, this early config will affect fair provisioning calculations,
and will also be overwritten, which is undesirable behavior.
To improve this, check if the VFs configs are empty (unprovisioned)
before starting the fair provisioning procedure.

To run correctly, each Virtual Function must be provisioned with
some chunk of shared hardware or firmware resources (like GGTT,
device memory, GuC doorbell IDs, GuC context IDs) and scheduling
parameters (execution quantum or preemption timeout).
All resources assigned to VFs must be excluded from the PF driver
use and may require some additional preparation steps (like setup
of the LMTT or update of the GGTT PTE). Those provisioning details
must be then sent to the GuC firmware as most of those details
will be shared later with the VF drivers during their boot.
Add basic functions to provision VFs with all hardware resources
or scheduling parameters. We will use them shortly in upcoming
patches either in manual provisioning over debugfs, exposed to the
advanced users, or automatic provisioning done by PF driver during
VFs enabling.
