x86/cmdline: Introduce a command line option to disable IBRS/IBPB, STIBP and IBPB

Instead of gaining yet another top level boolean, introduce a more generic
cpuid= option.  Also introduce a helper function to parse a generic boolean
value.

This is part of XSA-254.

xen/cmdline: Fix parse_boolean() for unadorned values

A command line such as "cpuid=no-ibrsb,no-stibp" tickles a bug in
parse_boolean() because the separating comma fails the NUL case.

Instead, check for slen == nlen which accounts for the boundary (if any)
passed via the 'e' parameter.
