feat: Enable PCIe device emulation for DPU-emulated storage

[kirill-shoikhet-nvda]

Is this a new feature, an enhancement, or a change to existing functionality?

New Feature

How would you describe the priority of this feature request

Medium

Please provide a clear description of problem this feature solves

NICo needs to enable PCI device emulation on the Host (and/or DPU) UEFI configuration before launching an instance that has DPU-emulated storage, so it becomes possible to dynamically expose storage volumes to the host via DOCA SNAP

Feature Description

When a storage solution runs on DPU (e.g., Block Storage or CMX in DSX) it exposes volumes via DOCA SNAP. To enable this path, NICo needs to enable PCI device emulation (virtual PCI switch).
