In some cases it's possible to boot directly to kernel proper without
going through decompression kernel (e.g. CONFIG_PVH), so this is to allow
a way for boot loaders of this sort to provide a CC blob without relying
on EFI. It could be relevant for things like fast/virtualized containers.

Most of the #ifdef'ery is due to the EFI scan, so I moved that part out
to a separate helper, snp_probe_cc_blob_efi(), that lives in
boot/compressed.sev.c. Still not pretty, but would this be acceptable?
