target/i386: Introduce Icelake-Server-v7 to enable TSX
When start L2 guest with both L1/L2 using Icelake-Server-v3 or above,
QEMU reports below warning:
"warning: host doesn't support requested feature: MSR(10AH).taa-no [bit 8]"
Reason is QEMU Icelake-Server-v3 has TSX feature disabled but enables taa-no
bit. It's meaningless that TSX isn't supported but still claim TSX is secure.
So L1 KVM doesn't expose taa-no to L2 if TSX is unsupported, then starting L2
triggers the warning.
Fix it by introducing a new version Icelake-Server-v7 which has both TSX
and taa-no features. Then guest can use TSX securely when it see taa-no.
This matches the production Icelake which supports TSX and isn't susceptible
to TSX Async Abort (TAA) vulnerabilities, a.k.a, taa-no.
Ideally, TSX should have being enabled together with taa-no since v3, but for
compatibility, we'd better to add v7 to enable it.
