x86/spec-ctrl: Rename VERW related options
VERW is going to be used for a 3rd purpose, and the existing nomenclature
didn't survive the Stale MMIO issues terribly well.
Rename the command line option from `md-clear=` to `verw=`. This is more
consistent with other options which tend to be named based on what they're
doing, not which feature enumeration they use behind the scenes. Retain
`md-clear=` as a deprecated alias.
Rename opt_md_clear_{pv,hvm} and opt_fb_clear_mmio to
opt_verw_{pv,hvm,mmio},
which has a side effect of making spec_ctrl_init_domain() rather clearer to
follow.
No functional change.
This is part of XSA-452 / CVE-2023-28746.
