2026-08-06gpu: nova-core: transition booter to TLV imagesTimur Tabi
Switch the booter firmware loader from the legacy binary format to the TLV format. This change requires the new TLV versions of the r570.144 firmware images. The new TLV format has all of the metadata needed by Nova encoded as separate tags, eliminating the need to parse legacy firmware headers such as HsHeaderV2 and HsSignatureParams. All of the structs and code for parsing those headers is therefore deleted.

2026-08-06gpu: nova-core: add TLV parser for firmware filesTimur Tabi
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.
