[SeaBIOS] [PATCH v3] fw/msr_feature_control: add support to set MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL

OS usually expects BIOS to set certain bits in MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL
for some features (e.g. VMX and LMCE). QEMU provides a fw_cfg file
"etc/msr_feature_control" to advise bits that should be set in
MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL. If this file exists, SeaBIOS will set the
advised bits in that MSR.

Changes in v3:
 * Move msr_feature_control_setup() to paravirt.c.

Changes in v2:
 * Call msr_feature_control_setup() before smp_setup().
 * Use wrmsr_smp() instead of wrmsr() on BSP.
 * Rename smp_mtrr and smp_mtrr_count to smp_msr and smp_msr_count
   as they are not only used for MTRR now.
