docs: Add SEV-ES documentation to amd-memory-encryption.txt
Update the amd-memory-encryption.txt file with information about SEV-ES, including how to launch an SEV-ES guest and some of the differences between SEV and SEV-ES guests in regards to launching and measuring the guest.

Secure Encrypted Virtualization - Encrypted State (SEV-ES) builds on the SEV
|

|
support to additionally protect the guest register state. In order to allow a
|
||||||
|
hypervisor to perform functions on behalf of a guest, there is architectural
|
||||||
|
support for notifying a guest's operating system when certain types of VMEXITs
|
||||||
|
are about to occur. This allows the guest to selectively share information with

the hypervisor to satisfy the requested function.
