drm/i915: Support replaying GPU hangs with captured context image
When debugging GPU hangs Mesa developers are finding it useful to replay
the captured error state against the simulator. But due various simulator
limitations which prevent replicating all hangs, one step further is being
able to replay against a real GPU.
This is almost doable today with the missing part being able to upload the
captured context image into the driver state prior to executing the
uploaded hanging batch and all the buffers.
To enable this last part we add a new context parameter called
I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_CONTEXT_IMAGE. It follows the existing SSEU
configuration pattern of being able to select which context to apply
against, paired with the actual image and its size.
Since this is adding a new concept of debug only uapi, we hide it behind
a new kconfig option and also require activation with a module parameter.
Together with a warning banner printed at driver load, all those combined
should be sufficient to guard against inadvertently enabling the feature.
In terms of implementation we allow the legacy context set param to be
used since that removes the need to record the per context data in the
proto context, while still allowing flexibility of specifying context
images for any context.

v2:
* Fix whitespace alignment as per checkpatch.
* Added warning on userspace misuse.
* Rebase for extracting ce->default_state shadowing.
v3:
* Rebase for I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_LOW_LATENCY.
