Teach the estatus core how to walk CPER records and expose the vendor
record notification path. This adds the section iteration helpers,
the logging helpers that mirror the GHES behaviour, and the deferred
work used to hand vendor GUIDs to interested drivers. No users switch
over yet; this simply moves the common logic out of GHES so the next
patches can wire it up.

Huh?

This is a CPER record from GHES. Why are you moving CPER code out
of ghes.c, placing in a file named estatus.c? Doesn't make much
sense on my eyes...

Same applies to to other GHES CPER record types.

GHES still fills in the CPER record, but the parsing and logging logic is
shared with the new DeviceTree provider so I pulled those helpers into the
estatus core. Both providers already call into the same notifier chain and
memory-pool helpers; this patch just moves the generic CPER walking routines
next to the rest of the common code so the DT path doesn’t have to grow its
own copy. If you’d prefer a different file layout or naming to make that
intent clearer, I’m happy to adjust.
