Subject: [PATCH v14 27/34] PCI/ERR: Introduce PCI_ERS_RESULT_PANIC

The CXL driver's error handling for uncorrectable errors (UCE) will be
updated in the future. A required change is for the error handlers to
to force a system panic when a UCE is detected.

Introduce PCI_ERS_RESULT_PANIC as a 'enum pci_ers_result' type. This will
be used by CXL UCE fatal and non-fatal recovery in future patches. Update
PCIe recovery documentation with details of PCI_ERS_RESULT_PANIC.
