17cdefe5f1 cpu_map: Don't use new noTSX models for host-model CPUs 
Host-model CPU definitions (and domain capabilities) will use the
original CPU models (without noTSX in their name) and explicitly disable
hle and rtm features. This way domains with host-model CPUs will be
migratable even to older versions of libvirt which do not support the
noTSX model variants.

The new models will be advertised in host capabilities and they may
be used explicitly with custom CPUs.

dd17a4eba8 cpu_map: Add more -noTSX x86 CPU models 
One of the mitigation methods for TAA[1] is to disable TSX
support on the host system.  Linux added a mechanism to disable
TSX globally through the kernel command line, and many Linux
distributions now default to tsx=off.  This makes existing CPU
models that have HLE and RTM enabled not usable anymore.

Add new versions of all CPU models that have the HLE and RTM
features enabled, that can be used when TSX is disabled in the
host system.

On systems disabling the features without those types defined
in cpu-maps users end up without modern CPU types in the list
of usable CPUs to use in the likes of virsh domcapabilities
or tools higher in the stack like virt-manager.

This adds:
-Cascadelake-Server-noTSX
-Icelake-Client-noTSX
-Icelake-Server-noTSX
-Skylake-Server-noTSX-IBRS
-Skylake-Client-noTSX-IBRS
