target/i386: add support for FB_CLEAR feature

As reported by the Intel's doc:
"FB_CLEAR: The processor will overwrite fill buffer values as part of
MD_CLEAR operations with the VERW instruction.
On these processors, L1D_FLUSH does not overwrite fill buffer values."

If this cpu feature is present in host, allow QEMU to choose whether to
show it to the guest too.
One disadvantage of not exposing it is that the guest will report
a non existing vulnerability in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/mmio_stale_data
because the mitigation is present only when the cpu has
        (FLUSH_L1D and MD_CLEAR) or FB_CLEAR
features enabled.
