x86/cpufeature: Add facility to check for min microcode revisions
For bug workarounds or checks, it is useful to check for specific microcode revisions. Add a new generic function to match the CPU with stepping. Add the other function to check the min microcode revisions for the matched CPU. A new table format is introduced to facilitate the quirk to fill the related information. This does not change the existing x86_cpu_id because it's an ABI shared with modules, and also has quite different requirements, as in no wildcards, but everything has to be matched exactly.
