gpu: nova-core: add TLV parser for firmware files

TLV (type, length, value) files are the new image format used by Nova
to encapsulate firmware images and their metadata.  Unlike the firmware
files for previous versions of the firmware, TLV filenames are not
versioned, and they have a .tlv suffix.

Add function request_tlv() to load TLV firmware images.

Add the Tlv struct and supporting types for parsing TLV firmware images.
TLV files begin with a 4-byte magic header, which must be "NVFW" for
Nvidia firmware files.  This is followed by a sequence of blocks each
containing a 4-byte ASCII tag, a 4-byte little-endian length, and a
payload padded to a 4-byte boundary.

Tlv::new() validates the entire image up front, so that the iterator can
subsequently yield blocks without fallible parsing.

Also add accessor methods for the various encoded types that will be used
by the driver.

[ Drop unnecessary payload.is_empty() check in Tlv::new(), use EINVAL
  instead of ENODATA in Tlv::get_bytes() and add a corresponding TODO
  comment. - Danilo ]
