x86/msr: Add MSR_MISC_FEATURE_ENABLES and RING3MWAIT bit

Define new MSR MISC_FEATURE_ENABLES (0x140).

On supported CPUs if bit 1 of this MSR is set, then calling MONITOR and
MWAIT instructions outside of ring 0 will not cause invalid-opcode
exception.

The MSR MISC_FEATURE_ENABLES is not yet documented in the SDM. Here is the
relevant documentation:

Hex   Dec  Name                     Scope
140H  320  MISC_FEATURE_ENABLES     Thread
           0    Reserved
           1    If set to 1, the MONITOR and MWAIT instructions do not
                cause invalid-opcode exceptions when executed with CPL > 0
                or in virtual-8086 mode. If MWAIT is executed when CPL > 0
                or in virtual-8086 mode, and if EAX indicates a C-state
                other than C0 or C1, the instruction operates as if EAX
                indicated the C-state C1.
