x86/shadow: shrink struct page_info's shadow_flags to 16 bits

This is to avoid it overlapping the linear_pt_count field needed for PV
domains. Introduce a separate, HVM-only pagetable_dying field to replace
the sole one left in the upper 16 bits.

Note that the accesses to ->shadow_flags in shadow_{pro,de}mote() get
switched to non-atomic, non-bitops operations, as {test,set,clear}_bit()
are not allowed on uint16_t fields and hence their use would have
required ugly casts. This is fine because all updates of the field ought
to occur with the paging lock held, and other updates of it use |= and
&= as well (i.e. using atomic operations here didn't really guard
against potentially racing updates elsewhere).

This is part of XSA-280.
