x86/pv: Rewrite guest %cr4 handling from scratch

The PV cr4 logic is almost impossible to follow, and leaks bits into guest
context which definitely shouldn't be visible (in particular, VMXE).

The biggest problem however, and source of the complexity, is that it derives
new real and guest cr4 values from the current value in hardware - this is
context dependent and an inappropriate source of information.

Rewrite the cr4 logic to be invariant of the current value in hardware.

First of all, modify write_ptbase() to always use mmu_cr4_features for IDLE
and HVM contexts.  mmu_cr4_features *is* the correct value to use, and makes
the ASSERT() obviously redundant.

For PV guests, curr->arch.pv.ctrlreg[4] remains the guests view of cr4, but
all logic gets reworked in terms of this and mmu_cr4_features only.

Two masks are introduced; bits which the guest has control over, and bits
which are forwarded from Xen's settings.  One guest-visible change here is
that Xen's VMXE setting is no longer visible at all.

pv_make_cr4() follows fairly closely from pv_guest_cr4_to_real_cr4(), but
deliberately starts with mmu_cr4_features, and only alters the minimal subset
of bits.

The boot-time {compat_,}pv_cr4_mask variables are removed, as they are a
remnant of the pre-CPUID policy days.  pv_fixup_guest_cr4() gains a related
derivation from the policy.

Another guest visible change here is that a 32bit PV guest can now flip
FSGSBASE in its view of CR4.  While the {RD,WR}{FS,GS}BASE instructions are
unusable outside of a 64bit code segment, the ability to modify FSGSBASE
matches real hardware behaviour, and avoids the need for any 32bit/64bit
differences in the logic.

Overall, this patch shouldn't have a practical change in guest behaviour.
VMXE will disappear from view, and an inquisitive 32bit kernel can now see
FSGSBASE changing, but this new logic is otherwise bug-compatible with before.

This is part of XSA-293.
