Add an optional dma-buf get_tph callback so an exporter can return TPH
(TLP Processing Hints) metadata to an importer.

8-bit ST and 16-bit Extended ST are distinct namespaces in the PCIe TPH
ST table and may both be present with different values. The importer
passes its supported steering-tag width and the exporter returns the
matching value, or -EOPNOTSUPP if no metadata is available for that
width.

The first user is VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF_TPH in vfio-pci, with the
mlx5 RDMA driver as the first importer.
