Refactor the X86_FEATURE_* framework to prepare for extending the core logic to support "properties". The "feature" framework allows querying a single CPUID bit to detect the presence of a feature; the "property" framework will extend the idea to allow querying a value, i.e. to get a value that is a set of contiguous bits in a CPUID leaf. Opportunistically add static asserts to ensure features are fully defined at compile time, and to try and catch mistakes in the definition of features. No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
