tco.c contains the ICH9 implementation of its "total cost
of ownership". Rename it accordingly to emphasis this is
a part of the ICH9 model.

The TCO watchdog implementation default behaviour from POV of the
guest OS relies on the initial values for two I/O ports:
* TCO1_CNT == 0x0
Since bit 11 (TCO Timer Halt) is clear, the watchdog state
is considered to be initially running
* GCS == 0x20
Since bit 5 (No Reboot) is set, the watchdog will not trigger
when the timer expires
This is a safe default, because the No Reboot bit will prevent the
watchdog from triggering if the guest OS is unaware of its existance,
or is slow in configuring it. When a Linux guest initializes the TCO
watchdog, it will attempt to clear the "No Reboot" flag, and read the
value back. If the clear was honoured, the driver will treat this as
an indicator that the watchdog is functional and create the guest
watchdog device.
QEMU implements a second "no reboot" flag, however, via pin straps
which overrides the behaviour of the guest controlled "no reboot"
flag:

ich9: implement strap SPKR pin logic
This second 'noreboot' pin was defaulted to high, which also inhibits
triggering of the requested watchdog actions, unless QEMU is launched
with the magic flag "-global ICH9-LPC.noreboot=false".
This is a bad default as we are exposing a watchdog to every guest OS
using the q35 machine type, but preventing it from actually doing what
it is designed to do. What is worse is that the guest OS and its apps
have no way to know that the watchdog is never going to fire, due to
this second 'noreboot' pin.
If a guest OS had no watchdog device at all, then apps whose operation
and/or data integrity relies on a watchdog can refuse to launch, and
alert the administrator of the problematic deployment. With Q35 machines
unconditionally exposing a watchdog though, apps will think their
deployment is correct but in fact have no protection at all.
This patch flips the default of the second 'no reboot' flag, so that
configured watchdog actions will be honoured out of the box for the
7.2 Q35 machine type onwards, if the guest enables use of the watchdog.

The tests directory itself is pretty overcrowded, and it's hard to
see which test belongs to which test subsystem (unit, qtest, ...).
Let's move the qtests to a separate folder for more clarity.
