x86/xstate: Make errors in xstate calculations more obvious by crashing the domain

If xcr0_max exceeds xfeature_mask, then something is broken with the CPUID
policy derivation or auditing logic.  If hardware rejects new_bv, then
something is broken with Xen's xstate logic.

In both cases, crash the domain with an obvious error message, to help
highlight the issues.
