cpu: Support a target CPU having a variable page size
Support target CPUs having a page size which isn't knownn
at compile time. To use this, the CPU implementation should:
 * define TARGET_PAGE_BITS_VARY
 * not define TARGET_PAGE_BITS
 * define TARGET_PAGE_BITS_MIN to the smallest value it
   might possibly want for TARGET_PAGE_BITS
 * call set_preferred_target_page_bits() in its realize
   function to indicate the actual preferred target page
   size for the CPU (and report any error from it)

In CONFIG_USER_ONLY, the CPU implementation should continue
to define TARGET_PAGE_BITS appropriately for the guest
OS page size.

Machines which want to take advantage of having the page
size something larger than TARGET_PAGE_BITS_MIN must
set the MachineClass minimum_page_bits field to a value
which they guarantee will be no greater than the preferred
page size for any CPU they create.

Note that changing the target page size by setting
minimum_page_bits is a migration compatibility break
for that machine.

For debugging purposes, attempts to use TARGET_PAGE_SIZE
before it has been finally confirmed will assert.
