KVM: x86/mmu: Use separate namespaces for guest PTEs and shadow PTEs

Browse source 
Separate the macros for KVM's shadow PTEs (SPTE) from guest 64-bit PTEs
(PT64).  SPTE and PT64 are _mostly_ the same, but the few differences are
quite critical, e.g. *_BASE_ADDR_MASK must differentiate between host and
guest physical address spaces, and SPTE_PERM_MASK (was PT64_PERM_MASK) is
very much specific to SPTEs.

Opportunistically (and temporarily) move most guest macros into paging.h
to clearly associate them with shadow paging, and to ensure that they're
not used as of this commit.  A future patch will eliminate them entirely.

Sadly, PT32_LEVEL_BITS is left behind in mmu_internal.h because it's
needed for the quadrant calculation in kvm_mmu_get_page().  The quadrant
calculation is hot enough (when using shadow paging with 32-bit guests)
that adding a per-context helper is undesirable, and burying the
computation in paging_tmpl.h with a forward declaration isn't exactly an
improvement.
