hv: add VHWP guest flag and its helper func 

Currently CPU frequency control is hidden to guests, and controlled
by hypervisor. While it is sufficient in most cases, some guest OS may
still need CPU performance info to make multi-core scheduling decisions.
This is seen on Linux kernel, which uses HWP highest performance level
as CPU core's priority in multi-core scheduling (CONFIG_SCHED_MC_PRIO).
Enabling this kernel feature could improve performance as single thread
workloads are scheduled on the highest performance cores. This is
significantly useful for guests with hybrid cores.

The concept is to expose performance interface to guest who exclusively
owns pCPU assigned to it. So that Linux guest can load intel_pstate
driver which will then provide the kernel with each core's schedule
priority.

Intel_pstate driver also relies on CONFIG_ACPI_CPPC_LIB to implement
this mechanic, this means we also need to provide ACPI _CPC in DM.

This patch sets up a guest flag GUEST_FLAG_VHWP to indicate whether
the guest can have VHWP feature.
