The FWSEC firmware needs to be extracted from the VBIOS and patched with
the desired command, as well as the right signature. Do this so we are
ready to load and run this firmware into the GSP falcon and create the
FRTS region.

Some of the firmwares need to be patched at load-time with a signature.
Add a couple of types and traits that sub-modules can use to implement
this behavior, while ensuring that the correct kind of signature is
applied to the firmware.

Using the support for navigating the VBIOS, add support to extract vBIOS
ucode data required for GSP to boot. The main data extracted from the
vBIOS is the FWSEC-FRTS firmware which runs on the GSP processor. This
firmware runs in high secure mode, and sets up the WPR2 (Write protected
region) before the Booter runs on the SEC2 processor.
Tested on my Ampere GA102 and boot is successful.

Add support for navigating the VBIOS images required for extracting
ucode data for GSP to boot. Later patches will build on this.
Debug log messages will show the BIOS images:

FWSEC-FRTS is the first firmware we need to run on the GSP falcon in
order to initiate the GSP boot process. Introduce the structure that
describes it.

We will extend the firmware methods, so move it to its own module
instead to keep gpu.rs focused.

Add the initial nova-core driver stub.
nova-core is intended to serve as a common base for nova-drm (the
corresponding DRM driver) and the vGPU manager VFIO driver, serving as a
hard- and firmware abstraction layer for GSP-based NVIDIA GPUs.
The Nova project, including nova-core and nova-drm, in the long term,
is intended to serve as the successor of Nouveau for all GSP-based GPUs.
The motivation for both, starting a successor project for Nouveau and
doing so using the Rust programming language, is documented in detail
through a previous post on the mailing list [1], an LWN article [2] and a
talk from LPC '24.
In order to avoid the chicken and egg problem to require a user to
upstream Rust abstractions, but at the same time require the Rust
abstractions to implement the driver, nova-core kicks off as a driver
stub and is subsequently developed upstream.
