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.

Verified libnvme 1.3-1~ubuntu22.10 on a ubuntu-22.10-desktop-amd64.iso live system on my laptop. The Python snippet run as root prints following model: "WD Blue SN570 2TB".
