Move them to a separate header and have the following
dependency:
x86/cpufeatures.h <- x86/processor.h <- x86/cpufeature.h
This makes it easier to use the header in asm code and not
include the whole cpufeature.h and add guards for asm.

Dump the flags which denote we have detected and/or have applied bug
workarounds to the CPU we're executing on, in a similar manner to the
feature flags.
The advantage is that those are not accumulating over time like the CPU
features.
