nested vmx: enable IA32E mode while do VM entry

Some VMMs may check the platform capability to judge whether long
mode guest is supported. Therefore we need to expose this bit to
guest VMM.

Xen on Xen works fine in current solution because Xen doesn't
check this capability but directly set it in VMCS if guest
supports long mode.
