x86/boot: Initialise the debug registers correctly

In particular, initialising %dr6 with the value 0 is buggy, because on
hardware supporting Transactional Memory, it will cause the sticky RTM bit to
be asserted, even though a debug exception from a transaction hasn't actually
been observed.

Move X86_DR6_DEFAULT into x86-defns.h along with the other architectural
register constants, and introduce a new X86_DR7_DEFAULT.  Use the existing
write_debugreg() helper, rather than opencoded inline assembly.
