target/i386: Expose IBPB-BRTYPE and SBPB CPUID bits to the guest

Browse Source 
According to AMD's Speculative Return Stack Overflow whitepaper (link
below), the hypervisor should synthesize the value of IBPB_BRTYPE and
SBPB CPUID bits to the guest.

Support for this is already present in the kernel with commit
e47d86083c66 ("KVM: x86: Add SBPB support") and commit 6f0f23ef76be
("KVM: x86: Add IBPB_BRTYPE support").

Add support in QEMU to expose the bits to the guest OS.

host:
  # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_rstack_overflow
  Mitigation: Safe RET

before (guest):
  $ cpuid -l 0x80000021 -1 -r
  0x80000021 0x00: eax=0x00000045 ebx=0x00000000 ecx=0x00000000 edx=0x00000000
                            ^
  $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_rstack_overflow
  Vulnerable: Safe RET, no microcode

after (guest):
  $ cpuid -l 0x80000021 -1 -r
  0x80000021 0x00: eax=0x18000045 ebx=0x00000000 ecx=0x00000000 edx=0x00000000
                            ^
  $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_rstack_overflow
  Mitigation: Safe RET
