[LTP] [PATCH v3] testcases/kernel/device-drivers/nvme: Add NVMe device discovery test

From: priyama2 <priyama2@linux.ibm.com>

This test fills a gap in NVMe test coverage by validating basic device
enumeration and driver binding, which are fundamental prerequisites for
any NVMe functionality testing.

The test verifies:
- Detection of NVMe controllers in /dev
- Enumeration of namespaces for detected controllers
- PCI enumeration (class code 0x010802)
- NVMe driver binding

Changes in v3:
- Fix subject prefix to match directory path
- Update copyright year to 2026
- Add nvme to SUBDIRS in testcases/kernel/device-drivers/Makefile
- Reset static variables at start of run() for -i support
- Remove .needs_root (all operations are world-readable)
- Use SAFE_FOPEN/SAFE_FCLOSE for PCI class file access
- Use SAFE_READLINK for driver symlink reading
- Add .gitignore entry for nvme01 binary
- Add runtest/device-drivers entry for nvme01
- Fix author field to use priyama2

Changes in v2:
- Use LTP buildsystem instead of standalone Makefile
- Remove README file (use doc comments instead)
- Add proper LTP documentation comment format
- Use SAFE_OPENDIR() and SAFE_CLOSEDIR() macros
- Remove obvious and redundant comments
- Code cleanup and style improvements
