tpm2: re-manufacture software TPM when state dir is incomplete

setup_swtpm() decided whether a software TPM had already been
manufactured by checking whether the state directory was empty. But
manufacture_swtpm() writes swtpm's config files before forking
swtpm_setup, so an interrupted manufacture leaves the directory
non-empty yet without a usable TPM. The next boot then mistook it for a
complete TPM and started swtpm against a broken state directory.

Keying off a swtpm state file like tpm2-00.permall is no better, as
swtpm_setup gives no guarantee any single one is written atomically or
last. Instead, have manufacture_swtpm() write a marker (.manufactured)
as its very last step, once swtpm_setup has exited successfully, and
gate on it: re-manufacture when it is missing in the initrd, and refuse
rather than start a broken TPM outside it.
