KVM: selftests: Add VFIO device support to eventfd IRQ test

Browse source 
Extend the eventfd IRQ test with a '-d' argument that takes a BDF (in the
format segment🚌device.function) of an interrupt-capable PCI(e) device
bound to VFIO, and use said device to trigger interrupts instead of always
synthesizing interrupts via direct writes to the eventfd.

Using a VFIO device to trigger interrupts validates the end-to-end delivery
of IRQs for "real" devices, and when supported by hardware (and KVM), also
validates interrupt delivery via IRQ bypass, i.e. via device posted IRQs.

Now that IOMMUFD is a thing, auto-probe IOMMUFD vs. "legacy" VFIO by
temporarily opening /dev/iommufd, and skip the test if neither IOMMUFD nor
legacy VFIO is available.  Add a '-t' option to the user override the probe
logic, e.g. in case IOMMUFD is available but the system is configured for
legacy usage.

Note, the device must have a VFIO selftest driver in order to work with
the test.  A helper script to list supported devices will hopefully be
available in the near future at
tools/testing/selftests/vfio/scripts/list_supported_devices.sh[1].

Example:
$ ./tools/testing/selftests/kvm/irq_test -d 0000:06:0a.1
