Backport nvme-stas to Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy)

[Benjamin Drung]

[ Impact ]

NVMEoTCP is available on Dell’s primary storage platforms, Powerflex, PowerStore and PowerMax. Nvme-stas provides the CDC client functionality in Linux that allows for easy centralized deployment of NVMe-oF TCP storage.

nvme-stas depends on libnvme which needs to be also backported.

[ Test Plan ]

python3-nvme from libnvme can be tested with that code:

```python
from libnvme import nvme

root = nvme.root()
root.log_level('debug')
print(f'root: {root}')

host = nvme.host(root)
print(f'host: {host}')

subsystem = host.subsystems()
print(f'subsystem: {subsystem}')
print(f'model: {subsystem.model}')
```

Running this script as root on systems with NVMe inside should list them. On my system it prints `model: Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2TB`.

nvme-stas comes with an autopkgtest (that succeeds on all architectures except s390x).

[ Where problems could occur ]

nvme-stas and libnvme are new packages in Ubuntu 23.04 "lunar". So backporting them has no influence on existing systems as long as they do not explicitly install them.
