Kunhui-Li 7dfc3c683c config_tools: add CPU capability checks
Add CPU capability checks.
If a feature is not supported on this processor, the board inspector
will show error message because it would impact ACRN’s ability
to function properly.

v3-->v4:
Update the error messages.

v2-->v3:
1. For VMX features, split each feature as a separate property, capability
checks in XML schema will then check all those features.
2. Use the class names instead of addresses, and invoke the rdmsr method
of each class.

v1-->v2:
1. Define each register as a class inheriting the `MSR` class defined
in platformbase.py, and define each bit as fields of that class.
2. The board inspector simply collects the CPU capability and attribute,
and the XSD does the actual check

board_parser.py will collect all board related info and then generate a board info file for acrn-config host tool usage.

usage: python3 board_inspector.py <board_name> [--out board_info_file]

board_name : the name of board that run ACRN hypervisor, like apl-up2/nuc7i7dnb. It will be used as name of the board configurations folder which created by acrn-config host tool.
board_info_file : (optional) the name of board info file. if it is not specified, a name of <board_name>.xml will be generated under the current working directory by default.

Please run this script under native Linux environment with root privilege.

OS requirement:
	Release:	Ubuntu 18.04+
	Tools:		cpuid, rdmsr, lspci, lxml, dmidecode (optional)
	kernel cmdline: "idle=nomwait iomem=relaxed intel_idle.max_cstate=0 intel_pstate=disable"
