target-i386: x86_cpu_get_phys_page_debug(): support 1GB page translation

Linux guests, when using more than 4GB of RAM, may end up using 1GB pages
to store (kernel) data. When this happens, we're unable to debug a running
Linux kernel with GDB:

(gdb) p node_data[0]->node_id
Cannot access memory at address 0xffff88013fffd3a0
(gdb)

GDB returns this error because x86_cpu_get_phys_page_debug() doesn't support
translating 1GB pages in IA-32e paging mode and returns an error to GDB.

This commit adds support for 1GB page translation for IA32e paging.

cpu: Avoid QOM casts for CPU()

CPU address spaces touching load and store helpers as well as the
movement of (almost) all fields from CPU_COMMON to CPUState have led to
a noticeable increase of CPU() usage in "hot" paths for both TCG and KVM.

While CPU()'s OBJECT_CHECK() might help detect development errors, i.e.
in form of crashes due to QOM vs. non-QOM mismatches rather than QOM
type mismatches, it is not really needed at runtime since mostly used in
CPU-specific paths, coming from a target-specific CPU subtype. If that
pointer is damaged, other errors are highly likely to occur elsewhere
anyway.

Keep the CPU() macro for a consistent developer experience and for
flexibility to exchange its implementation, but turn it into a pure,
unchecked C cast for now.

Compare commit 6e42be7cd10260fd3a006d94f6c870692bf7a2c0.

pci: Fix clearing IRQs on reset

irq_state is cleared before calling pci_device_deassert_intx, but the
latter misbehaves if the former isn't accurate. In this case, any raised
IRQs are not cleared, which hits an assertion in pcibus_reset:

qemu-system-x86_64: hw/pci/pci.c:250: pcibus_reset: Assertion
`bus->irq_count[i] == 0' failed.

pci_device_deassert_intx should clear irq_state anyways, so add
an assert.

This fixes migration with usb2 + usb-tablet.

configure: add option to disable -fstack-protector flags

The -fstack-protector flag family is useful for ensuring safety and for
debugging, but has a performance impact. Here are some boot time comparisons of
the various versions of -fstack-protector using qemu-system-arm on an x86_64
host:

    # -fstack-protector-all
    Startup finished in 1.810s (kernel) + 12.331s (initrd) + 49.016s (userspace) = 1min 3.159s
    Startup finished in 1.801s (kernel) + 12.287s (initrd) + 47.925s (userspace) = 1min 2.013s
    Startup finished in 1.812s (kernel) + 12.302s (initrd) + 47.995s (userspace) = 1min 2.111s

    # -fstack-protector-strong
    Startup finished in 1.744s (kernel) + 11.223s (initrd) + 44.688s (userspace) = 57.657s
    Startup finished in 1.721s (kernel) + 11.222s (initrd) + 44.194s (userspace) = 57.138s
    Startup finished in 1.693s (kernel) + 11.250s (initrd) + 44.426s (userspace) = 57.370s

    # -fstack-protector
    Startup finished in 1.705s (kernel) + 11.409s (initrd) + 43.563s (userspace) = 56.677s
    Startup finished in 1.877s (kernel) + 11.137s (initrd) + 43.719s (userspace) = 56.734s
    Startup finished in 1.708s (kernel) + 11.141s (initrd) + 43.628s (userspace) = 56.478s

    # no stack protector
    Startup finished in 1.743s (kernel) + 11.190s (initrd) + 43.709s (userspace) = 56.643s
    Startup finished in 1.763s (kernel) + 11.216s (initrd) + 43.767s (userspace) = 56.747s
    Startup finished in 1.711s (kernel) + 11.283s (initrd) + 43.878s (userspace) = 56.873s

This patch introduces a configure option to disable the stack protector
entirely, and conditional stack protector flag selection (in order,
based on availability): -fstack-protector-strong, -fstack-protector-all,
no stack protector.
