Andrew Cooper 498945c467 x86/spec-ctrl: Enumerations for Speculative Return Stack Overflow
AMD have specified new CPUID bits relating to SRSO.

 * SRSO_NO indicates that hardware is no longer vulnerable to SRSO.
 * IBPB_BRTYPE indicates that IBPB flushes branch type information too.
 * SBPB indicates support for a relaxed form of IBPB that does not flush
   branch type information.

Current CPUs (Zen4 and older) are not expected to enumerate these bits.
Native software is expected to synthesise them for guests using model and
microcode revision checks.

Two are just status bits, and SBPB is trivial to support for guests by
tweaking the reserved bit calculation in guest_wrmsr() and feature
dependencies.  Expose all by default to guests, so they start showing up when
Xen synthesises them.

While adding feature dependenies for IBPB, fix up an overlooked issue from
XSA-422.  It's inappropriate to advertise that IBPB flushes RET predictions if
IBPB is unavailable itself.

This is part of XSA-434 / CVE-2023-20569
