v2 -> v3:
- Update the commit message
- Fix some alignment and space problems
- Add a SPDX header for the new file
- Remove unnecessary comments
- Add CXL_HOST_BRIDGE config
v1 -> v2:
- Move the code of new bridge to hw/pci-host/cxl.c
- Fix and simplify some logic on handling the different bridge types

Background
==========
Currently the base CXL support for arm platforms is only on Jonathan's
patches[1]. Some platform like SBSA-REF can be more like a real machine,
thus the support of CXL could be meaningful. However, the pxb-cxl-host
realization on this platform seems not satisfying their requirements[2].

New CXL HOST design
===================
Defines a new CXL host bridge type (TYPE_CXL_HOST). This is an
independent CXL host bridge which combined GPEX features (ECAM, MMIO
windows and irq) and CXL Host Bridge Component Registers (CHBCR).

The root bus path of CXL_HOST is "0001:00", that would not affect the
original pcie host topology. In the previous, the pxb-cxl-host with
any CXL root ports and CXL endpoint devices would occupy the BDF
number of the original pcie domain. This new type provide a solution
to resolve the problem.

Remaining problems
==================
I tried to use 'object_resolve_path' but it could not work in
'cxl_fmws_link_targets', so I used 'TYPE_DEVICE' to match that.
