Ilya Leoshkevich b6a48d2a4b tests/tcg/x86_64: Add cross-modifying code test
commit f025692c99 ("accel/tcg: Clear PAGE_WRITE before translation")
fixed cross-modifying code handling, but did not add a test. The
changed code was further improved recently [1], and I was not sure
whether these modifications were safe (spoiler: they were fine).

Add a test to make sure there are no regressions.

/*
* Test patching code, running in one thread, from another thread.
*
* Intel SDM calls this "cross-modifying code" and recommends a special
* sequence, which requires both threads to cooperate.
*
* Linux kernel uses a different sequence that does not require cooperation and
* involves patching the first byte with int3.
*
* Finally, there is user-mode software out there that simply uses atomics, and
* that seems to be good enough in practice. Test that QEMU has no problems
* with this as well.
