KVM: x86: Introduce KVM_{G,S}ET_ONE_REG uAPIs support
Enable KVM_{G,S}ET_ONE_REG uAPIs so that userspace can access MSRs and other non-MSR registers through them, along with support for KVM_GET_REG_LIST to enumerate support for KVM-defined registers. This is in preparation for allowing userspace to read/write the guest SSP register, which is needed for the upcoming CET virtualization support. Currently, two types of registers are supported: KVM_X86_REG_TYPE_MSR and KVM_X86_REG_TYPE_KVM. All MSRs are in the former type; the latter type is added for registers that lack existing KVM uAPIs to access them. The "KVM" in the name is intended to be vague to give KVM flexibility to include other potential registers. More precise names like "SYNTHETIC" and "SYNTHETIC_MSR" were considered, but were deemed too confusing (e.g. can be conflated with synthetic guest-visible MSRs) and may put KVM into a corner (e.g. if KVM wants to change how a KVM-defined register is modeled internally). Enumerate only KVM-defined registers in KVM_GET_REG_LIST to avoid duplicating KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST, and so that KVM can return _only_ registers that are fully supported (KVM_GET_REG_LIST is vCPU-scoped, i.e. can be precise, whereas KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST is system-scoped).
