Refactor handling of x86 CPUID instructions

Introduce two helpers for CPUID, pg_cpuid and pg_cpuid_subleaf that wrap
the platform specific __get_cpuid/__cpuid and __get_cpuid_count/__cpuidex
functions.

Additionally, use macros to specify registers names (e.g. EAX) for clarity,
instead of numeric integers into the result array.
