x86/paravirt: Introduce new paravirt-base.h header

Move the pv_info related definitions and the declarations of the global
paravirt function primitives into a new header file paravirt-base.h.

Use that header instead of paravirt_types.h in ptrace.h.

Additionally, this is a preparation to reduce the include hell with paravirt
enabled.
