thunderbolt: Introduce thunderbolt bus and connection manager



Thunderbolt fabric consists of one or more switches. This fabric is
called domain and it is controlled by an entity called connection
manager. The connection manager can be either internal (driven by a
firmware running on the host controller) or external (software driver).
This driver currently implements support for the latter.

In order to manage switches and their properties more easily we model
this domain structure as a Linux bus. Each host controller adds a domain
device to this bus, and these devices are named as domainN where N
stands for index or id of the current domain.

We then abstract connection manager specific operations into a new
structure tb_cm_ops and convert the existing tb.c to fill those
accordingly. This makes it easier to add support for the internal
connection manager in subsequent patches.
