x86/cpu-policy: Fix migration from Ice Lake to Cascade Lake

Ever since Xen 4.14, there has been a latent bug with migration.

While some toolstacks can level the features properly, they don't shink
feat.max_subleaf when all features have been dropped.  This is because
we *still* have not completed the toolstack side work for full CPU Policy
objects.

As a consequence, even when properly feature levelled, VMs can't migrate
"backwards" across hardware which reduces feat.max_subleaf.  One such example
is Ice Lake (max_subleaf=2 for INTEL_PSFD) to Cascade Lake (max_subleaf=0).

Extend the max policies feat.max_subleaf to the hightest number Xen knows
about, but leave the default policies matching the host.  This will allow VMs
with a higher feat.max_subleaf than strictly necessary to migrate in.

Eventually we'll manage to teach the toolstack how to avoid creating such VMs
in the first place, but there's still more work to do there.
