sgx: add two special resources for quoting daemon and SGX platform registration

`qe` and `registration` resources are intended for a very specific use-case: every
SGX enabled node gets only one such resource and they are consumed by a quoting
daemon (e.g., `aesmd` or `tdx-qgs`) and a platform registration tool (e.g.,
PCK-ID-Retrieval-Tool), respectively. This is done so that these containers can run
without any elevated privileges.
