tcg/i386: enable dynamic TLB sizing

As the following experiments show, this series is a net perf gain,
particularly for memory-heavy workloads. Experiments are run on an
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6142 CPU @ 2.60GHz.

1. System boot + shudown, debian aarch64:

- Before (v3.1.0):
 Performance counter stats for './die.sh v3.1.0' (10 runs):

       9019.797015      task-clock (msec)         #    0.993 CPUs utilized            ( +-  0.23% )

       172,966,530      branch-misses             #    1.72% of all branches          ( +-  0.07% )

- After:
 Performance counter stats for './die.sh tlb-dyn-v5' (10 runs):

       8624.084842      task-clock (msec)         #    0.993 CPUs utilized            ( +-  0.23% )
    28,556,123,404      cycles                    #    3.311 GHz                      ( +-  0.13% )
    51,755,089,512      instructions              #    1.81  insn per cycle           ( +-  0.05% )
     9,526,513,946      branches                  # 1104.641 M/sec                    ( +-  0.05% )
       166,578,509      branch-misses             #    1.75% of all branches          ( +-  0.19% )

That is, a 4.4% perf increase.

2. System boot + shutdown, ubuntu 18.04 x86_64:

- Before (v3.1.0):
      56100.574751      task-clock (msec)         #    1.016 CPUs utilized            ( +-  4.81% )
   200,745,466,128      cycles                    #    3.578 GHz                      ( +-  5.24% )
   431,949,100,608      instructions              #    2.15  insn per cycle           ( +-  5.65% )
    77,502,383,330      branches                  # 1381.490 M/sec                    ( +-  6.18% )
       844,681,191      branch-misses             #    1.09% of all branches          ( +-  3.82% )

      55.221556378 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  5.01% )

- After:
      56603.419540      task-clock (msec)         #    1.019 CPUs utilized            ( +- 10.19% )
   202,217,930,479      cycles                    #    3.573 GHz                      ( +- 10.69% )
   439,336,291,626      instructions              #    2.17  insn per cycle           ( +- 14.14% )
    80,538,357,447      branches                  # 1422.853 M/sec                    ( +- 16.09% )
       776,321,622      branch-misses             #    0.96% of all branches          ( +-  3.77% )

      55.549661409 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +- 10.44% )

No improvement (within noise range). Note that for this workload,
increasing the time window too much can lead to perf degradation,
since it flushes the TLB *very* frequently.

3. x86_64 SPEC06int:

           x86_64-softmmu speedup vs. v3.1.0 for SPEC06int (test set)

That is, a 1.51x average speedup over the baseline, with a max speedup
of 5.17x.

Here's a different look at the SPEC06int results, using KVM as the baseline:

After this series, we bring down the average SPEC06int slowdown vs KVM
from 11.47x to 7.58x.
