x86/boot: Introduce helpers for MSR reads/writes

The current set of helpers used throughout the run-time kernel have
dependencies on code/facilities outside of the boot kernel, so there
are a number of call-sites throughout the boot kernel where inline
assembly is used instead. More will be added with subsequent patches
that add support for SEV-SNP, so take the opportunity to provide a basic
set of helpers that can be used by the boot kernel to reduce reliance on
inline assembly.

Use boot_* prefix so that it's clear these are helpers specific to the
boot kernel to avoid any confusion with the various other MSR read/write
helpers.

  [ bp: Disambiguate parameter names and trim comment. ]
