So, remember that all of this started because the TDX docs said that
they didn't document some necessary stuff and to go look in a JSON file
instead. The JSON file wasn't particularly human-readable, thus the
script was born to read it.
But it turns out that the JSON isn't stable. It also isn't authoritative
enough to write code from by itself. Nobody realized this when this
adventure started.
Anyway, long story short, the JSON experiment failed and we're back to
normal docs for TDX ABI definitions. Thus, the script can go away and
maybe we should make that code a bit less ugly now that humans are going
to be editing it all the time now.
