target/s390x: Allow to enable "idtes" feature for TCG
STFL bit 4 and 5 are just indications to the guest, which TLB entries an
IDTE call will clear. These are performance indicators for the guest.
STFL bit 4:
INVALIDATE DAT TABLE ENTRY (IDTE) performs
the invalidation-and-clearing operation by
selectively clearing TLB segment-table entries
when a segment-table entry or entries are
invalidated. IDTE also performs the clearing-by-
ASCE operation. Unless bit 4 is one, IDTE simply
purges all TLBs. Bit 3 is one if bit 4 is one.
We can simply set STFL bit 4 ("idtes") and still purge the complete TLB.
Purging more than advertised is never bad. E.g. Linux doesn't even care
about this bit. We can optimized this later.
This is helpful, as the z9 base model contains this facility.
STFL bit 5 (clearing TLB region-table-entries) was never implemented on
real HW, therefore we can simply ignore it for now.
