ACPI / APEI: Add a notifier chain for unknown (vendor) CPER records
CPER records describing a firmware-first error are identified by GUID. The ghes driver currently logs, but ignores any unknown CPER records. This prevents describing errors that can't be represented by a standard entry, that would otherwise allow a driver to recover from an error. The UEFI spec calls these 'Non-standard Section Body' (N.2.3 of version 2.8). Add a notifier chain for these non-standard/vendor-records. Callers must identify their type of records by GUID. Record data is copied to memory from the ghes_estatus_pool to allow us to keep it until after the notifier has run.
