Refactor tpm_transmit and pull out code sending the command
and receiving the response and put this into tpm_transfer.

Add instead a flag TPM_TRANSMIT_RAW (this name is just a suggestion)
that skips "prepare" and "commit" parts. That would save us from a
new export.

Better way to make it less messy would be to add static functions
tpm_prepare_command and tpm_commit_command that would be always
called and would return immediately if flags contain TPM_TRANSMIT_RAW.
I'll do that then, modifying the code to skip tpm_validate_command as well.
