In order to support large number of vcpus, a newer 64-bit SMBIOS
entry point type is needed. Therefore, upgrade the default SMBIOS version
for PC machines to SMBIOS 3.0 for newer systems. Then increase the maximum
number of vCPUs for Q35 models to 1024, which is the limit for KVM.

Changes from V5:

 * Patch 1: Get rid of pc_machine_init_smbios() and simplify the logic
   per Igor's suggestion.
 * Patch 2: Added reviewed-by tag.

Thank you,
Suravee
