kvm: selftests: move base kvm_util.h declarations to kvm_util_base.h

Between helper macros and interfaces that will be introduced in
subsequent patches, much of kvm_util.h would end up being declarations
specific to ucall. Ideally these could be separated out into a separate
header since they are not strictly required for writing guest tests and
are mostly self-contained interfaces other than a reliance on a few
core declarations like struct kvm_vm. This doesn't make a big
difference as far as how tests will be compiled/written since all these
interfaces will still be packaged up into a single/common libkvm.a used
by all tests, but it is still nice to be able to compartmentalize to
improve readabilty and reduce merge conflicts in the future for common
tasks like adding new interfaces to kvm_util.h.

Furthermore, some of the ucall declarations will be arch-specific,
requiring various #ifdef'ery in kvm_util.h. Ideally these declarations
could live in separate arch-specific headers, e.g.
include/<arch>/ucall.h, which would handle arch-specific declarations
as well as pulling in common ucall-related declarations shared by all
archs.

One simple way to do this would be to #include ucall.h at the bottom of
kvm_util.h, after declarations it relies upon like struct kvm_vm.
This is brittle however, and doesn't scale easily to other sets of
interfaces that may be added in the future.

Instead, move all declarations currently in kvm_util.h into
kvm_util_base.h, then have kvm_util.h #include it. With this change,
non-base declarations can be selectively moved/introduced into separate
headers, which can then be included in kvm_util.h so that individual
tests don't need to be touched. Subsequent patches will then move
ucall-related declarations into a separate header to meet the above
goals.
