[PATCH v7 1/9] PCI: endpoint: Describe reserved subregions within BARs

Some endpoint controllers expose platform-owned, fixed register windows
within a BAR that EPF drivers must not reprogram (e.g. a BAR marked
BAR_RESERVED). Even in that case, EPF drivers may need to reference a
well-defined subset of that BAR, e.g. to reuse an integrated DMA
controller MMIO window as a doorbell target.

Introduce struct pci_epc_bar_rsvd_region and extend struct
pci_epc_bar_desc so EPC drivers can advertise such fixed subregions in a
controller-agnostic way.

No functional change for existing users.
