This change introduces a new TPM backend driver that can
communicate with
swtpm(software TPM emulator) using unix domain socket interface.
Swtpm uses two unix sockets, one for plain TPM commands and
responses, and one
for out-of-band control messages.
Let's not forget to mention the external protocol this backend rely on:
https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm/wiki/Control-Channel-Specification
The protocol documentation is quite limited.
(I still question the need to rely on a public protocol, and a
seperate helper process project. If we had a qemu-swtpm, we could more
easily evolve the protocol in the future)
And who is going to implement that qemu-swtpm? Obviously this discussion
doesn't contribute to progress if nobody is doing that in the end.
