Subject: x86/boot: Expose MSR_ARCH_CAPS data in guest max policies

We already have common and default feature adjustment helpers.  Introduce one
for max featuresets too.

Offer MSR_ARCH_CAPS unconditionally in the max policy, and stop clobbering the
data inherited from the Host policy.  This will be necessary to level a VM
safely for migration.  Annotate the ARCH_CAPS CPUID bit as special.  Note:
ARCH_CAPS is still max-only for now, so will not be inhereted by the default
policies.

With this done, the special case for dom0 can be shrunk to just resampling the
Host policy (as ARCH_CAPS isn't visible by default yet).
