x86, xsave: context switch support using xsave/xrstor
Uses xsave/xrstor (instead of traditional fxsave/fxrstor) in context switch when available. Introduces TS_XSAVE flag, which determine the need to use xsave/xrstor instructions during context switch instead of the legacy fxsave/fxrstor instructions. Thread-synchronous status word is already in L1 cache during this code patch and thus minimizes the performance penality compared to (cpu_has_xsave) checks.
