    x86/boot: Rework dom0 feature configuration
    
    Right now, dom0's feature configuration is split between between the common
    path and a dom0-specific one.  This mostly is by accident, and causes some
    very subtle bugs.
    
    First, start by clearly defining init_dom0_cpuid_policy() to be the domain
    that Xen builds automatically.  The late hwdom case is still constructed in 
a
    mostly normal way, with the control domain having full discretion over the 
CPU
    policy.
    
    Identifying this highlights a latent bug - the two halves of the 
MSR_ARCH_CAPS
    bodge are asymmetric with respect to the hardware domain.  This means that
    shim, or a control-only dom0 sees the MSR_ARCH_CAPS CPUID bit but none of 
the
    MSR content.  This in turn declares the hardware to be retpoline-safe by
    failing to advertise the {R,}RSBA bits appropriately.  Restrict this logic 
to
    the hardware domain, although the special case will cease to exist shortly.
    
    For the CPUID Faulting adjustment, the comment in ctxt_switch_levelling()
    isn't actually relevant.  Provide a better explanation.
    
    Move the recalculate_cpuid_policy() call outside of the dom0-cpuid= case.
    This is no change for now, but will become necessary shortly.
    
    Finally, place the second half of the MSR_ARCH_CAPS bodge after the
    recalculate_cpuid_policy() call.  This is necessary to avoid transiently
    breaking the hardware domain's view while the handling is cleaned up.  This
    special case will cease to exist shortly.
