x86/tsx: Implement controls for RTM force-abort mode
The CPUID bit and MSR are deliberately not exposed to guests, because they
won't exist on newer processors. As vPMU isn't security supported, the
misbehaviour of PCR3 isn't expected to impact production deployments.

+vpmu=rtm-abort controls a trade-off between working Restricted Transactional
+Memory, and working performance counters.
+
+All processors released to date (Q1 2019) supporting Transactional Memory
+Extensions suffer an erratum which has been addressed in microcode.
+
+Processors based on the Skylake microarchitecture with up-to-date
+microcode internally use performance counter 3 to work around the erratum.
+A consequence is that the counter gets reprogrammed whenever an `XBEGIN`
+instruction is executed.
+
+An alternative mode exists where PCR3 behaves as before, at the cost of
+`XBEGIN` unconditionally aborting. Enabling `rtm-abort` mode will
+activate this alternative mode.
+
If a boolean is not used, combinations of flags are allowed, comma separated.
For example, vpmu=arch,bts.
