The number of cores/threads per socket are needed for smbios, and are
also useful for other modules.
Provide the helpers to wrap the calculation of cores/threads per socket
so that we can avoid calculation errors caused by other modules miss
topology changes.

This had been pulled in via qemu/plugin.h from hw/core/cpu.h,
but that will be removed.

Currently we'll always generate a cluster node no matter user has
specified '-smp clusters=X' or not. Cluster is an optional level
and will participant the building of Linux scheduling domains and
only appears on a few platforms. It's unncessary to always build
it when it cannot reflect the real topology on platforms having no
cluster implementation and to avoid affecting the linux scheduling
domains in the VM. So only generate the cluster topology in ACPI
PPTT when the user has specified it explicitly in -smp.
Tested qemu-system-aarch64 with `-smp 8` and linux 6.1-rc1, without
this patch:
estuary:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology$ cat cluster_*
ff # cluster_cpus
0-7 # cluster_cpus_list
56 # cluster_id
with this patch:
estuary:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology$ cat cluster_*
ff # cluster_cpus
0-7 # cluster_cpus_list
36 # cluster_id, with no cluster node kernel will make it to
physical package id

The new Cluster-Aware Scheduling support has landed in Linux 5.16,
which has been proved to benefit the scheduling performance (e.g.
load balance and wake_affine strategy) on both x86_64 and AArch64.
So now in Linux 5.16 we have four-level arch-neutral CPU topology
definition like below and a new scheduler level for clusters.
struct cpu_topology {
int thread_id;
int core_id;
int cluster_id;
int package_id;
int llc_id;
cpumask_t thread_sibling;
cpumask_t core_sibling;
cpumask_t cluster_sibling;
cpumask_t llc_sibling;
}
A cluster generally means a group of CPU cores which share L2 cache
or other mid-level resources, and it is the shared resources that
is used to improve scheduler's behavior. From the point of view of
the size range, it's between CPU die and CPU core. For example, on
some ARM64 Kunpeng servers, we have 6 clusters in each NUMA node,
and 4 CPU cores in each cluster. The 4 CPU cores share a separate
L2 cache and a L3 cache tag, which brings cache affinity advantage.
In virtualization, on the Hosts which have pClusters (physical
clusters), if we can design a vCPU topology with cluster level for
guest kernel and have a dedicated vCPU pinning. A Cluster-Aware
Guest kernel can also make use of the cache affinity of CPU clusters
to gain similar scheduling performance.
This patch adds infrastructure for CPU cluster level topology
configuration and parsing, so that the user can specify cluster
parameter if their machines support it.

All methods related to MachineState are prefixed with "machine_".
smp_parse() does not need to be an exception. Rename it and
const'ify the SMPConfiguration argument, since it doesn't need
to be modified.

We are going to introduce an unit test for the parser smp_parse()
in hw/core/machine.c, but now machine.c is only built in softmmu.
In order to solve the build dependency on the smp parsing code and
avoid building unrelated stuff for the unit tests, move the tested
code from machine.c into a separate file, i.e., machine-smp.c and
build it in common field.
