tests/tcg/x86_64: Add cross-modifying code test

commit f025692c992c ("accel/tcg: Clear PAGE_WRITE before translation")
fixed cross-modifying code handling, but did not add a test. The
changed code was further improved recently [1], and I was not sure
whether these modifications were safe (spoiler: they were fine).

Add a test to make sure there are no regressions.

+ * Test patching code, running in one thread, from another thread.
+ *
+ * Intel SDM calls this "cross-modifying code" and recommends a special
+ * sequence, which requires both threads to cooperate.
+ *
+ * Linux kernel uses a different sequence that does not require cooperation and
+ * involves patching the first byte with int3.
+ *
+ * Finally, there is user-mode software out there that simply uses atomics, and
+ * that seems to be good enough in practice. Test that QEMU has no problems
+ * with this as well.
