SRU Justification

[Impact]

The TDX guest driver is currently packaged in linux-modules-extra. This is a non-optimal
experience for users of the Azure image that is focused on TDX encryption and security.

[Fix]

Build in the TDX guest driver

[Test Plan]

Check that the TDX guest driver no longer appears in linux-modules-extra
Microsoft tested as well.

[Regression potential]

There should be no regression potential.

[Other Info]

The patch for azure-5.19 is not strictly required, except in this case azure-5.19 is
being considered for a respin. The Azure images only use the 5.19 kernel from Jammy,
hence the reason for this transient patch. It will get overwritten when next
the azure-5.19 kernel is cranked against k/azure. copy-files overwrites all
of the config settings during 'cranky open'.
