hw/machine: introduce machine specific option 'x-change-vmfd-on-reset'

A new machine specific option 'x-change-vmfd-on-reset' is introduced for
debugging and testing only (hence the 'x-' prefix). This option when enabled
will force KVM VM file descriptor to be changed upon guest reset like
in the case of confidential guests. This can be used to exercise the code
changes that are specific for confidential guests on non-confidential
guests as well (except changes that require hardware support for
confidential guests).
A new functional test has been added in the next patch that uses this new
parameter to test the VM file descriptor changes.
