The TDX support will need the "suppress #VE" bit (bit 63) set as the
initial value for SPTE.  To reduce code change size, introduce a new macro
SHADOW_NONPRESENT_VALUE for the initial value for the shadow page table
entry (SPTE) and replace hard-coded value 0 for it.  Initialize shadow page
tables with their value.

The plan is to unconditionally set the "suppress #VE" bit for both AMD and
Intel as: 1) AMD hardware uses the bit 63 as NX for present SPTE and
ignored for non-present SPTE; 2) for conventional VMX guests, KVM never
enables the "EPT-violation #VE" in VMCS control and "suppress #VE" bit is
ignored by hardware.
