The move of aspects of this device into its own class
puts it line with all the other devices in regards to handling of properties:
uuid, driver_type, VM reference to where backend is located, its instance
number etc.. If I now interpret the usage of for example the VTPM.create()
method correctly, then a VM with an associated vTPM needs to have this
method for getting an approriate entry written into its VM configuration
file.

In the future extensions could be used to manage the
actual state of a TPM, for example its owner password etc.
