Rename the page-track APIs to capture that they're all about tracking
writes, now that the facade of supporting multiple modes is gone.
Opportunstically replace "slot" with "gfn" in anticipation of removing
the @slot param from the external APIs.
No functional change intended.

Drop "support" for multiple page-track modes, as there is no evidence
that array-based and refcounted metadata is the optimal solution for
other modes, nor is there any evidence that other use cases, e.g. for
access-tracking, will be a good fit for the page-track machinery in
general.
E.g. one potential use case of access-tracking would be to prevent guest
access to poisoned memory (from the guest's perspective). In that case,
the number of poisoned pages is likely to be a very small percentage of
the guest memory, and there is no need to reference count the number of
access-tracking users, i.e. expanding gfn_track[] for a new mode would be
grossly inefficient. And for poisoned memory, host userspace would also
likely want to trap accesses, e.g. to inject #MC into the guest, and that
isn't currently supported by the page-track framework.
A better alternative for that poisoned page use case is likely a
variation of the proposed per-gfn attributes overlay (linked), which
would allow efficiently tracking the sparse set of poisoned pages, and by
default would exit to userspace on access.

Disable the page-track notifier code at compile time if there are no
external users, i.e. if CONFIG_KVM_EXTERNAL_WRITE_TRACKING=n. KVM itself
now hooks emulated writes directly instead of relying on the page-track
mechanism.
Provide a stub for "struct kvm_page_track_notifier_node" so that including
headers directly from the command line, e.g. for testing include guards,
doesn't fail due to a struct having an incomplete type.

Bury the declaration of the page-track helpers that are intended only for
internal KVM use in a "private" header. In addition to guarding against
unwanted usage of the internal-only helpers, dropping their definitions
avoids exposing other structures that should be KVM-internal, e.g. for
memslots. This is a baby step toward making kvm_host.h a KVM-internal
header in the very distant future.
