Enable CR4.OSXSAVE and XCR0.AVX by default when creating selftests vCPUs

-march=x86-64-v3 by default.

While it would be easier to force v2 (or earlier), there are enough tests
that want XCR0 configured that it will (hopefully) be a net postive to
enable all XCR0 features by default.

The only real hiccup is the CR4/CPUID sync test, which disables CR4.OSXSAVE
to verify KVM toggles the associated CPUID bit.  And if it calls memset()
while OSXAVE is disabled, kablooie.  Fixing that requires a bit of assembly,
but overall I think it's worth carrying a few lines of assembly in order to
gain test coverage for running AVX instructions in guests, and boy are
compilers good at abusing AVX :-)

Fix a few bugs/warts found along the way.  Notably, the CPUID test has an
array out-of-bounds bug that can result in false passes (I only noticed
because it was getting a false pass on gcc).

I think this is not -rc/stable material, so for now I'm applying Vitaly's patch, plus patch 1 from this series.
