x86/domain: Initialise vcpu debug registers correctly

In particular, initialising %dr6 with the value 0 is buggy, because on
hardware supporting Transactional Memory, it will cause the sticky RTM bit to
be asserted, even though a debug exception from a transaction hasn't actually
been observed.

Introduce arch_vcpu_regs_init() to set various architectural defaults, and
reuse this in the hvm_vcpu_reset_state() path.

Architecturally, %edx's init state contains the processors model information,
and 0xf looks to be a remnant of the old Intel processors.  We clearly have no
software which cares, seeing as it is wrong for the last decade's worth of
Intel hardware and for all other vendors, so lets use the value 0 for
simplicity.
