x86/cpufeatures: Add X86_FEATURE_APX

Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (APX) introduce a new set of
general-purpose registers, managed as an extended state component via the
xstate management facility.

Before enabling this new xstate, define a feature flag to clarify the
dependency in xsave_cpuid_features[]. APX is enumerated under CPUID level
7 with EDX=1. Since this CPUID leaf is not yet allocated, place the flag
in a scattered feature word.

While this feature is intended only for userspace, exposing it via
/proc/cpuinfo is unnecessary. Instead, the existing arch_prctl(2)
mechanism with the ARCH_GET_XCOMP_SUPP option can be used to query the
feature availability.

Finally, clarify that APX depends on XSAVE.
