target-i386: Add "filtered-features" property to X86CPU

This property will contain all the features that were removed from the
CPU because they are not supported by the host.

This way, libvirt or other management tools can emulate the
check/enforce behavior by checking if filtered-properties is all zeroes,
before starting the guest.

Example output where some features were missing:

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu Haswell,check -S \
    -qmp unix:/tmp/m,server,nowait
