cpu/intel/common: Add/Use common function to set virtualization
Migrate duplicated enable_vmx() method from multiple CPUs to common folder. Add common virtualization option for CPUs which support it. Note that this changes the default to enable virtualization on CPUs that support it.

+ help
+ Although the Intel manual says you must set the lock bit in addition
+ to the VMX bit in order for VMX to work, this isn't strictly true, so
+ we have the option to leave it unlocked and allow the OS (e.g. Linux)
+ to manage things itself. This is beneficial for testing purposes as
+ there is no need to reflash the firmware just to toggle the lock bit.
+ However, leaving the lock bit unset will break Windows' detection of
+ VMX support and built-in virtualization features like Hyper-V.
