Add a quirk for KVM's behavior of emulating intercepted MONITOR/MWAIT instructions a NOPs regardless of whether or not they are supported in guest CPUID. KVM's current behavior was likely motiviated by a certain fruity operating system that expects MONITOR/MWAIT to be supported unconditionally and blindly executes MONITOR/MWAIT without first checking CPUID. And because KVM does NOT advertise MONITOR/MWAIT to userspace, that's effectively the default setup for any VMM that regurgitates KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID to KVM_SET_CPUID2. Note, this quirk interacts with KVM_X86_QUIRK_MISC_ENABLE_NO_MWAIT. The behavior is actually desirable, as userspace VMMs that want to unconditionally hide MONITOR/MWAIT from the guest can leave the MISC_ENABLE quirk enabled.
