x86/vmx: Pass an MSR value into vmx_msr_add()

The main purpose of this change is to allow us to set a specific MSR value,
without needing to know whether there is already a load/save list slot for it.

Previously, callers wanting this property needed to call both vmx_add_*_msr()
and vmx_write_*_msr() to cover both cases, and there are no callers which want
the old behaviour of being a no-op if an entry already existed for the MSR.

As a result of this API improvement, the default value for guest MSRs need not
be 0, and the default for host MSRs need not be passed via hardware register.
In practice, this cleans up the VPMU allocation logic, and avoids an MSR read
as part of vcpu construction.
