KVM: x86: Move kvm_rebooting to x86

Move kvm_rebooting, which is only read by x86, to KVM x86 so that it can
be moved again to core x86 code.  Add a "shutdown" arch hook to facilate
setting the flag in KVM x86, along with a pile of comments to provide more
context around what KVM x86 is doing and why.
