PCI: Introduce pcie_is_cxl()

CXL is a protocol that runs on top of PCIe electricals. Its error model
also runs on top of the PCIe AER error model by standardizing "internal"
errors as "CXL" errors. Linux has historically ignored internal errors.

CXL protocol error handling is then a task of enhancing the PCIe AER
core to understand that PCIe ports (upstream and downstream) and
endpoints may throw internal errors that represent standard CXL protocol
errors.

The proposed method to make that determination is to teach 'struct
pci_dev' to cache when its link has trained the CXL.mem and/or CXL.cache
protocols and then treat all internal errors as CXL errors. A design
goal is to not burden the PCIe AER core with CXL knowledge beyond just
enough to forward error notifications to the CXL RAS core. The forwarded
notification looks up a 'struct cxl_port' or 'struct cxl_dport'
companion device to the PCI device.

Introduce set_pcie_cxl() with logic checking for CXL.mem or CXL.cache
status in the CXL Flex Bus DVSEC status register. The CXL Flex Bus DVSEC
presence is used because it is required for all the CXL PCIe devices.[1]

    Capability (DVSEC) ID Assignment, Table 8-2
