[PATCH 12/13] libxl: use the cpuid feature names from cpufeatureset.h

[Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The current implementation in libxl_cpuid_parse_config() requires
keeping a list of cpuid feature bits that should be mostly in sync
with the contents of cpufeatureset.h.

Avoid such duplication by using the automatically generated list of
cpuid features in INIT_FEATURE_NAMES in order to map feature names to
featureset bits, and then translate from featureset bits into cpuid
leaf, subleaf, register tuple.

Note that the full contents of the previous cpuid translation table
can't be removed.  That's because some feature names allowed by libxl
are not described in the featuresets, or because naming has diverged
and the previous nomenclature is preserved for compatibility reasons.

Should result in no functional change observed by callers, albeit some
new cpuid features will be available as a result of the change.

While there constify cpuid_flags name field.

Changes since v1:
 - const unnamed structure cast.
 - Declare struct feature_name outside the function.
 - Use strcmp.
 - Fix indentation.
 - Add back missing feature name options.
 - Return ERROR_NOMEM if allocation fails.
 - Improve xl.cfg documentation about how to reference the features
   described in the public header.
