TD-Preserving updates request shutting down the existing TDX module.
During this shutdown, the module generates hand-off data, which captures
the module's states essential for preserving running TDs. The new TDX
module can utilize this hand-off data to establish its states.

Invoke the TDH_SYS_SHUTDOWN API on one CPU to perform the shutdown. This
API requires a hand-off module version. Use the module's own hand-off
version, as it is the highest version the module can produce and is more
likely to be compatible with new modules.

Changes to tdx_global_metadata.{hc} are auto-generated by following the
instructions detailed in [1], after adding the following section to the
tdx.py script:

"handoff": [
"MODULE_HV",
],

Add a check to ensure that module_hv is guarded by the TDX module's
support for TD-Preserving.
