Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Export APICv-related state via binary stats interface

After discussion in the RFC thread[0], the following items were identified as
desirable to expose via the stats interface:

- APICv status: (apicv_enabled, boolean, per-vCPU)

- Guest using SynIC's AutoEOI: (synic_auto_eoi_used, boolean, per-VM)

- KVM PIT in reinject mode inhibits AVIC: (pit_reinject_mode, boolean, per-VM)

- APICv unaccelerated injections causing a vmexit (i.e. AVIC_INCOMPLETE_IPI,
  AVIC_UNACCELERATED_ACCESS, APIC_WRITE): (apicv_unaccelerated_inj, counter,
  per-vCPU)

Example retrieving the newly introduced stats for guest running on AMD Genoa
host, with AVIC enabled:

(QEMU) query-stats target=vcpu vcpus=['/machine/unattached/device[0]'] providers=[{'provider':'kvm','names':['apicv_unaccelerated_inj','apicv_active']}]
{
    "return": [
        {
            "provider": "kvm",
            "qom-path": "/machine/unattached/device[0]",
            "stats": [
                {
                    "name": "apicv_unaccelerated_inj",
                    "value": 2561
                },
                {
                    "name": "apicv_active",
                    "value": true
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
(QEMU) query-stats target=vm providers=[{'provider':'kvm','names':['pit_reinject_mode','synic_auto_eoi_used']}]
{
    "return": [
        {
            "provider": "kvm",
            "stats": [
                {
                    "name": "pit_reinject_mode",
                    "value": false
                },
                {
                    "name": "synic_auto_eoi_used",
                    "value": false
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Changes were also sanity tested on Intel Sapphire Rapids platform, with/without
IPI virtualization.

Regards,
Alejandro
