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.
