qapi/qom: Define cache enumeration and properties for machine

The x86 and ARM need to allow user to configure cache properties
(current only topology):
 * For x86, the default cache topology model (of max/host CPU) does not
   always match the Host's real physical cache topology. Performance can
   increase when the configured virtual topology is closer to the
   physical topology than a default topology would be.
 * For ARM, QEMU can't get the cache topology information from the CPU
   registers, then user configuration is necessary. Additionally, the
   cache information is also needed for MPAM emulation (for TCG) to
   build the right PPTT.

Define smp-cache related enumeration and properties in QAPI, so that
user could configure cache properties for SMP system through -machine in
the subsequent patch.

Cache enumeration (CacheLevelAndType) is implemented as the combination
of cache level (level 1/2/3) and cache type (data/instruction/unified).

Currently, separated L1 cache (L1 data cache and L1 instruction cache)
with unified higher-level cache (e.g., unified L2 and L3 caches), is the
most common cache architectures.

Therefore, enumerate the L1 D-cache, L1 I-cache, L2 cache and L3 cache
with smp-cache object to add the basic cache topology support. Other
kinds of caches (e.g., L1 unified or L2/L3 separated caches) can be
added directly into CacheLevelAndType if necessary.

Cache properties (SmpCacheProperties) currently only contains cache
topology information, and other cache properties can be added in it
if necessary.

Note, define cache topology based on CPU topology level with two
reasons:

 1. In practice, a cache will always be bound to the CPU container
    (either private in the CPU container or shared among multiple
    containers), and CPU container is often expressed in terms of CPU
    topology level.
 2. The x86's cache-related CPUIDs encode cache topology based on APIC
    ID's CPU topology layout. And the ACPI PPTT table that ARM/RISCV
    relies on also requires CPU containers to help indicate the private
    shared hierarchy of the cache. Therefore, for SMP systems, it is
    natural to use the CPU topology hierarchy directly in QEMU to define
    the cache topology.

With smp-cache QAPI support, add smp cache topology for machine by
parsing the smp-cache object list.

Also add the helper to access/update cache topology level of machine.
