Add support for libvirt swtpm (vTPM) configuration.
Since both nova-compute and nova-libvirt Kolla images have swtpm packages installed [1], it is possible to configure vTPM for libvirt instances. This patch adds support for such configuration in kolla-ansible.

+Emulated virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM)
+===============================================
+
+Nova supports adding an emulated virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM) to
+instances. This feature is implemented with the SWTPM (Software TPM Emulator)
+package. To enable this feature, set ``enable_nova_swtpm`` to ``true``.
+Beware of `limitations`__ that come with this solution.
