KVM: VMX: Track CPU's MSR_IA32_VMX_BASIC as a single 64-bit value

Browse source

Track the "basic" capabilities VMX MSR as a single u64 in vmcs_config
instead of splitting it across three fields, that obviously don't combine
into a single 64-bit value, so that KVM can use the macros that define MSR
bits using their absolute position.  Replace all open coded shifts and
masks, many of which are relative to the "high" half, with the appropriate
macro.

Opportunistically use VMX_BASIC_32BIT_PHYS_ADDR_ONLY instead of an open
coded equivalent, and clean up the related comment to not reference a
specific SDM section (to the surprise of no one, the comment is stale).

No functional change intended (though obviously the code generation will
be quite different).
