x86/fpu: Introduce cpu_has_xfeatures(xfeatures_mask, feature_name)
A lot of FPU using driver code is querying complex CPU features to be able to figure out whether a given set of xstate features is supported by the CPU or not. Introduce a simplified API function that can be used on any CPU type to get this information. Also add an error string return pointer, so that the driver can print a meaningful error message with a standardized feature name. Also mark xfeatures_mask as __read_only.
