Subject: [PATCH 4/9] cpu/SMT: Create topology_smt_threads_supported()

A subsequent patch will enable partial SMT states, ie. when not all SMT
threads are brought online.

To support that, add an arch helper to check how many SMT threads are
supported.

To retain existing behaviour, the x86 implementation only allows a
single thread or all threads to be online.
