[SeaBIOS] [PATCH v5 4/4] support booting with more than 255 CPUs

SDM[*1] says that if there are CPUs with APIC ID
greater than 254, BIOS is to pass control to OS
in x2APIC mode. Use the fact that QEMU passes in
"etc/max-cpus" max possible "APIC ID + 1" to
detect need for x2APIC mode. Also instead of
CMOS_BIOS_SMP_COUNT which is limited to 256 CPUs
use a new rom file "etc/boot-cpus" that QEMU
supporting more than 256 CPUs will provide.

*1) SDM: Volume 3: EXTENDED XAPIC (X2APIC):
     Initialization by System Software

v4:
  * use qemu_*_present_cpus_count() helpers to init/get boot
    cpus count at boot time and only qemu_get_present_cpus_count()
    at resume time
v2:
  * merge handle_x2apic() into apic_id_init()
