Always honor guest PAT in KVM-managed EPTs on TDX enabled guests by
making self-snoop feature a hard dependency for TDX and making quirk
KVM_X86_QUIRK_EPT_IGNORE_GUEST_PAT not a valid quirk once TDX is enabled.

The quirk KVM_X86_QUIRK_EPT_IGNORE_GUEST_PAT only affects memory type of
KVM-managed EPTs. For the TDX-module-managed private EPT, memory type is
always forced to WB now.

Honoring guest PAT in KVM-managed EPTs ensures KVM does not invoke
kvm_zap_gfn_range() when attaching/detaching non-coherent DMA devices,
which would cause mirrored EPTs for TDs to be zapped, leading to the
TDX-module-managed private EPT being incorrectly zapped.

As a new feature, TDX always comes with support for self-snoop, and does
not have to worry about unmodifiable but buggy guests. So, simply ignore
KVM_X86_QUIRK_IGNORE_GUEST_PAT on TDX guests just like kvm-amd.ko already
does.
