Refactor KVM's exported/external page-track, a.k.a. write-track, APIs
to take only the gfn and do the required memslot lookup in KVM proper.
Forcing users of the APIs to get the memslot unnecessarily bleeds
KVM internals into KVMGT and complicates usage of the APIs.
No functional change intended.

Rename the page-track APIs to capture that they're all about tracking
writes, now that the facade of supporting multiple modes is gone.
Opportunstically replace "slot" with "gfn" in anticipation of removing
the @slot param from the external APIs.
No functional change intended.

Drop "support" for multiple page-track modes, as there is no evidence
that array-based and refcounted metadata is the optimal solution for
other modes, nor is there any evidence that other use cases, e.g. for
access-tracking, will be a good fit for the page-track machinery in
general.
E.g. one potential use case of access-tracking would be to prevent guest
access to poisoned memory (from the guest's perspective). In that case,
the number of poisoned pages is likely to be a very small percentage of
the guest memory, and there is no need to reference count the number of
access-tracking users, i.e. expanding gfn_track[] for a new mode would be
grossly inefficient. And for poisoned memory, host userspace would also
likely want to trap accesses, e.g. to inject #MC into the guest, and that
isn't currently supported by the page-track framework.
A better alternative for that poisoned page use case is likely a
variation of the proposed per-gfn attributes overlay (linked), which
would allow efficiently tracking the sparse set of poisoned pages, and by
default would exit to userspace on access.

Disable the page-track notifier code at compile time if there are no
external users, i.e. if CONFIG_KVM_EXTERNAL_WRITE_TRACKING=n. KVM itself
now hooks emulated writes directly instead of relying on the page-track
mechanism.
Provide a stub for "struct kvm_page_track_notifier_node" so that including
headers directly from the command line, e.g. for testing include guards,
doesn't fail due to a struct having an incomplete type.

Bury the declaration of the page-track helpers that are intended only for
internal KVM use in a "private" header. In addition to guarding against
unwanted usage of the internal-only helpers, dropping their definitions
avoids exposing other structures that should be KVM-internal, e.g. for
memslots. This is a baby step toward making kvm_host.h a KVM-internal
header in the very distant future.
