This patch updates the board inspector to collect the bits of physical and
linear addresses of the processors and generate this information to the
board XML for further uses at configuration phase.

While running in a nested environment, such as qemu, parse the board
information should be allowed even it is not in a native environment.

This patch adds a parser of CPU identification information reported by the
CPUID instruction.
The framework is based on the CPUID parsing facilities in
BITS (https://biosbits.org/), but with the following changes.
1. The CPUID data is fetched by executing the `cpuid` utility, rather than
executing the `cpuid` instruction. This avoids introducing any
additional library or Python/C extension and gets a CPUID leaf on all
physical cores in one shot.
2. Parsers of CPUID leaves 0x10, 0x1A and 0x1F are added. New fields in
existing leaves are also added.
3. A wrapper function, named `parse_cpuid`, is added as the single API that
allows other modules to get an arbitrary CPUID leaf or subleaf.
