cxl/region: Introduce cxl_pmem_region objects

The LIBNVDIMM subsystem is a platform agnostic representation of system
NVDIMM / persistent memory resources. To date, the CXL subsystem's
interaction with LIBNVDIMM has been to register an nvdimm-bridge device
and cxl_nvdimm objects to proxy CXL capabilities into existing LIBNVDIMM
subsystem mechanics.

With regions the approach is the same. Create a new cxl_pmem_region
object to proxy CXL region details into a LIBNVDIMM definition. With
this enabling LIBNVDIMM can partition CXL persistent memory regions with
legacy namespace labels. A follow-on patch will add CXL region label and
CXL namespace label support to persist region configurations across
driver reload / system-reset events.
