Subject: x86/spec-ctrl: Mitigate IBPB not flushing the RSB/RAS

Introduce spec_ctrl_new_guest_context() to encapsulate all logic pertaining to
using MSR_PRED_CMD for a new guest context, even if it only has one user
presently.

Introduce X86_BUG_IBPB_NO_RET, and use it extend spec_ctrl_new_guest_context()
with a manual fixup for hardware which mis-implements IBPB.

This is part of XSA-422 / CVE-2022-23824.
