This adds a threat model and security policy based on the Xen Project Security Policy.

This is a continuation of #7875.

This is a continuation of #7875.

From my understanding, the previous PR started out around a security policy and later shifted toward a threat model policy. That PR was eventually closed with several discussions still unresolved, and this new PR now continues the topic in a fresh place.

It would be really helpful to briefly summarize the main takeaways from the previous discussion (from your POV), how you plan to approach this PR, and what you see as the path forward. In particular, it would be useful to understand why the previous PR stopped making progress at some point, and what is different in this iteration that should help move the discussion toward a conclusion

Would be very helpful and highly appreciated :)

This adds a threat model and security policy.  It is loosely based on
the Xen Project Security Policy, but with many changes to fit Cloud
Hypervisor better.

The threat model is comprehensive and includes:

- Which entities are fully trusted.
- What untrusted entities are and are not allowed to do.
- What Cloud Hypervisor expects from its deployment environment.
- What trusted entities can safely do on behalf of untrusted entities.
