x86/emulate: send vm_event from emulate

A/D bit writes (on page walks) can be considered benign by an introspection
agent, so receiving vm_events for them is a pessimization. We try here to
optimize by filtering these events out.
Currently, we are fully emulating the instruction at RIP when the hardware sees
an EPT fault with npfec.kind != npfec_kind_with_gla. This is, however,
incorrect, because the instruction at RIP might legitimately cause an
EPT fault of its own while accessing a _different_ page from the original one,
where A/D were set.
The solution is to perform the whole emulation, while ignoring EPT restrictions
for the walk part, and taking them into account for the "actual" emulating of
the instruction at RIP. When we send out a vm_event, we don't want the emulation
to complete, since in that case we won't be able to veto whatever it is doing.
That would mean that we can't actually prevent any malicious activity, instead
we'd only be able to report on it.
When we see a "send-vm_event" case while emulating, we need to first send the
event out and then suspend the emulation (return X86EMUL_RETRY).
After the emulation stops we'll call hvm_vm_event_do_resume() again after the
introspection agent treats the event and resumes the guest. There, the
instruction at RIP will be fully emulated (with the EPT ignored) if the
introspection application allows it, and the guest will continue to run past
the instruction.

A common example is if the hardware exits because of an EPT fault caused by a
page walk, p2m_mem_access_check() decides if it is going to send a vm_event.
If the vm_event was sent and it would be treated so it runs the instruction
at RIP, that instruction might also hit a protected page and provoke a vm_event.

Now if npfec.kind == npfec_kind_in_gpt and d->arch.monitor.inguest_pagefault_disabled
is true then we are in the page walk case and we can do this emulation optimization
and emulate the page walk while ignoring the EPT, but don't ignore the EPT for the
emulation of the actual instruction.

In the first case we would have 2 EPT events, in the second case we would have
1 EPT event if the instruction at the RIP triggers an EPT event.

We use hvmemul_map_linear_addr() to intercept write access and
__hvm_copy() to intercept exec, read and write access.

A new return type was added, HVMTRANS_need_retry, in order to have all
the places that consume HVMTRANS* return X86EMUL_RETRY.

hvm_emulate_send_vm_event() can return false if there was no violation,
if there was an error from monitor_traps() or p2m_get_mem_access().
-ESRCH from p2m_get_mem_access() is treated as restricted access.

NOTE: hvm_emulate_send_vm_event() assumes the caller will enable/disable
arch.vm_event->send_event
