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.
