host-condition: initial framework

This commit lays the groundwork for supporting the new
xyz.openbmc_project.Condition.HostFirmware interface and the
CurrentFirmwareCondition property within it.

The goal is for phosphor-host-ipmid to support both the existing (but
deprecated) Execute(Heartbeat) as well as the new
CurrentFirmwareCondition.

This new interface provides a more specific mechanism to check if the
host firmware is up and alive, allowing for other protocols (i.e. PLDM)
to also implement the interface easily.

The reasoning behind this change can be found in the PDI commit:
