x86, smap: Add a header file with macros for STAC/CLAC
The STAC/CLAC instructions are only available with SMAP, but on the other hand they aren't needed if SMAP is not available, or before we start to run userspace, so construct them as alternatives which start out as noops and are enabled by the alternatives mechanism.

+ Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is a security
