This adds a Kconfig option and support for including the XSM policy from
tools/flask/policy in the hypervisor so that the bootloader does not
need to provide a policy to get sane behavior from an XSM-enabled
hypervisor.  The policy provided by the bootloader, if present, will
override the built-in policy.

The XSM policy is not moved out of tools because that remains the
primary location for installing and configuring the policy.

Changes since v4:
 - Fixed clean target in xsm/flask/Makefile
 - Dropped now-unneeded const-dropping cast of policy_buffer
