The master PIC is connected to the LINTIN0 of the APICs. As the APIC
currently does not track the state of that line, we have to ask the PIC
to reinject its IRQ after the CPU picked up an event from the APIC.

This introduces pic_get_output to read the master PIC IRQ line state
without changing it. The APIC uses this function to decide if a PIC IRQ
should be reinjected on apic_update_irq. This reflects better how the
real hardware works.

The patch fixes some failures of the kvm unit tests apic and eventinj by
allowing to enable the proper CPU IRQ deassertion when the guest masks
some pending IRQs at PIC level.

Changes in v2:
 - Avoid adding pic_level to the APIC state, obtain PIC output via
   pic_get_level instead
 - Do not reassert PIC interrupt if APIC is not accepting it
 - Use apic_deliver_pic_intr for reassertion to ensure correct
   processing

This is not as nice as the previous version /wrt the interaction of PIC
and APIC. But it avoids breaking the APIC vmstate for the sake of
internal changes, also keeping it compatible with the upcoming KVM
in-kernel APIC (that allows no easy pic_level state extraction). The
interconnection between PIC and APIC may look nicer in the future with
QOM. And in the end this just reflects the "beauty" of the x86
architecture.

This is indeed ugly. Why doesn't APIC track PIC output?

Breaking vmstate compatibility? Don't we have all kinds of
compatibility stuff for this?

I'm not opposed to the patch as is, it's still a cleanup, but I wish
this ugliness could be avoided.

As I said, we do not have access to some pic_level equivalent with the
in-kernel APIC model. And I don't want to break vmstate compatibility
between user and kernel space models needlessly.

It's primarily a bug fix now. And the ugliness level should drop again
when IRQ management will be reworked.
