Subject: [PATCH] cpu_x86: Copy CPU signature from ancestor

When specifying a new CPU model in cpu_map.xml as an extension to an
existing model, we forgot to copy the signature (family + model) from
the original CPU model.

We don't use this way of specifying CPU models, but it's still supported
and it becomes useful when someone wants to quickly hack up a CPU model
for testing or when creating additional variants of existing models to
help with fixing some spectral issues.

(cherry picked from commit b427cf4831d0ea7aac9dd1a3aa7682478356a483)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1533415

The new -IBRS and -IBPB CPU models were defined via inheritance from
their original models in RHEL. Thus when the host CPU matches the
signature of the original model from cpu_map.xml, libvirt will detect
the host CPU as the original model + the new feature rather than
reporting it as the -IBRS/-IBPB variant.
