Subject: x86/spec-ctrl: Enumerations for DDP controls

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/software-security-guidance/technical-documentation/data-dependent-prefetcher.html

We should offer DDP-CTRL to guests, but I'm not sure when it is appearing in
hardware, and it's not massively urgent - the DDP behaviour is mostly sane
(having been designed in a post-spectre world) and this is a just-in-case
control.
