framework: Add feature to mark workloads unsafe for confidential devices

Some workloads, such as Geekbench, may phone home and report data about the
device they are running on. This poses a risk for users that are testing on
unreleased or otherwise confidential devices - perhaps they use a standard
agenda to run a large battery of tests, in which case they may forget to disable
these dangerous workloads.

This provides a mechanism to prevent running those workloads from running by
setting allow_phone_home=False in the user configuration.

this would be a benchmark application that sends scores and device data to a
database owned by the maintainer.
The user can then set allow_phone_home=False in their configuration to
