libx86: Elide more empty CPUID leaves when serialising a policy

x86_cpuid_copy_to_buffer() currently serialises the full content of the
various subleaf unions.  While leaves 4, 0xb and 0xd don't have a concrete
max_subleaf field, they do have well defined upper bounds.

Diffing the results of `xen-cpuid -p` shows the resulting saving:

which is mostly due to no longer writing out 64 leaves for xstate when (on
this CoffeeLake system) 8 will do.

Extend the unit tests to cover empty and partially filled subleaf unions.
