Certain fallback code can be made subject to DCE this way. Note that
CX16 has no compiler provided manifest constant, so CONFIG_* are used
there instead. Note also that we don't have cpu_has_movbe nor
cpu_has_lzcnt (aka cpu_has_abm), and we no longer have
cpu_has_{popcnt,bmi1,bmi2}.

Of course we could use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86_64_V<n>) everywhere, but as
CX16 shows this isn't necessarily better than the #if/#else approach
based on compiler-provided manifest symbols. While not really intended
to be used that way, it looks as if we could also use
IS_ENABLED(__POPCNT__) and alike if we thought this would end up neater
(because of avoiding the #ifdef).

We could go further and also short-circuit SSE*, AVX and alike, which we
don't use outside of the emulator. This then would of course call for
also having a way to select x86-64-v4.

v4: Re-base (over dropped cpu_has_{popcnt,bmi1,bmi2}).
v2: Also cover XSAVE.
