Add a guest assert in the PMU counters test to verify that KVM stuffs the vCPU's post-RESET value to globally enable all general purpose counters. Per Intel's SDM, IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL: Sets bits n-1:0 and clears the upper bits. and Where "n" is the number of general-purpose counters available in the processor. For the edge case where there are zero GP counters, follow the spirit of the architecture, not the SDM's literal wording, which doesn't account for this possibility and would require the CPU to set _all_ bits in PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL.
