Something like the TD Life Cycle State Machine (Section 9.1 of TDX module spec[1])

[1]: https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/733568

I don't have the code. But using a few boolean variables to track the state of
TD and VCPU looks bad and hard to maintain and extend. At least, the state machine
is well-documented.
