x86, apic: Limit apic dumping, introduce new show_lapic= setup option
In case if a system has a large number of cpus printing apics contents may consume a long time period. We limit such an output by 1 apic by default. But to have an ability to see all apics or some part of them we introduce "show_lapic" setup option which allow us to limit/unlimit the number of APICs being dumped. Example: apic=debug show_lapic=5, or apic=debug show_lapic=all Also move apic_verbosity checking upper that way so helper routines do not need to inspect it at all.
