Fix it to allow KVM to export the non-native CPUID vendor if
explicitly requested by the user.
The semantic is now as intended:
- With TCG, the guest always sees the configured vendor.
- With KVM, the default is to propagate the host's vendor
   - when explicitly requested via -cpu<base>,vendor=xxx obey this
     and use the specified vendor

This should go through uq/master. But I'm not sure that the new behavior is really what's desired. It's certainly going to break compatibility since -M pc-0.12 is going to show a different vendor_id by default.

Hi,

this hasn't been picked up the last time I sent it out, are there any
objections?

Regards,
Andre.
