package/qemu: host-qemu does not support XOP capable CPUs

Browse Source 
Commit 1f7efaf89f ("package/qemu: do not support x86_steamroller or
x86_core_avx2") excluded BR2_x86_steamroller from
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_QEMU_ARCH_SUPPORTS. This is still needed, but for a
different reason than AVX, and the exclusion is incomplete.

steamroller is bdver3, and what the Qemu TCG engine cannot emulate
there is not AVX, but the Bulldozer-specific XOP, FMA4, TBM and LWP
extensions. In Qemu 11.0.0 (the version we currently package) and
11.1.1, target/i386/cpu.c has:

  #define TCG_EXT3_FEATURES (CPUID_EXT3_LAHF_LM | CPUID_EXT3_SVM | \
            CPUID_EXT3_CR8LEG | CPUID_EXT3_ABM | CPUID_EXT3_SSE4A | \
            CPUID_EXT3_3DNOWPREFETCH | CPUID_EXT3_KERNEL_FEATURES | \
            CPUID_EXT3_CMP_LEG)

CPUID_EXT3_XOP, CPUID_EXT3_FMA4, CPUID_EXT3_TBM and CPUID_EXT3_LWP are
defined in target/i386/cpu.h, but are not part of that mask, i.e. TCG
does not implement them. Binaries using those instructions therefore
die with:

  qemu: uncaught target signal 4 (Illegal instruction) - core dumped

This affects the whole Bulldozer family, not only steamroller:
bulldozer (bdver1), piledriver (bdver2) and excavator (bdver4) are
equally unsupported, but were never excluded.

Use the newly introduced BR2_X86_CPU_HAS_XOP symbol, which covers all
four variants, instead of listing BR2_x86_steamroller alone. As for
AVX512, this disables gobject-introspection and nodejs, which are the
two packages needing host-qemu in user mode.
