Add a VMX flag in /proc/cpuinfo, ept_5level, so that userspace can query
whether or not the CPU supports 5-level EPT paging. EPT capabilities are
enumerated via MSR, i.e. aren't accessible to userspace without help from
the kernel, and knowing whether or not 5-level EPT is supported is useful
for debug, triage, testing, etc.
For example, when EPT is enabled, bits 51:48 of guest physical addresses
are consumed by the CPU if and only if 5-level EPT is enabled. For CPUs
with MAXPHYADDR > 48, KVM *can't* map all legal guest memory without
5-level EPT, making 5-level EPT support valuable information for userspace.
