This matches the existing sev-guest and tdx-guest directories (and
SEV_GUEST/TDX_GUEST_DRIVER kconfig), although I agree it's not great
naming as it stands.

But I'm also wondering if this will one day expand to include some other
communication with the RMM. For example I know it's been discussed
whether the guest should have involvement with firmware updates or
migration to another host. So there's a reasonable chance we could end
up renaming it back to a general "arm_cca_guest" if it grows more
capabilities in the future.
