x86/spec-ctrl: Infrastructure to use VERW to flush pipeline buffers

Three synthetic features are introduced, as we need individual control of
each, depending on circumstances.  A later change will enable them at
appropriate points.

The verw_sel field doesn't strictly need to live in struct cpu_info.  It lives
there because there is a convenient hole it can fill, and it reduces the
complexity of the SPEC_CTRL_EXIT_TO_{PV,HVM} assembly by avoiding the need for
any temporary stack maintenance.

This is part of XSA-297 / CVE-2018-12126 / CVE-2018-12127 / CVE-2018-12130.
