configure: move -mcx16 flag out of CPU_CFLAGS
The point of CPU_CFLAGS is really just to select the appropriate multilib,
for example for library linking tests, and -mcx16 is not needed for
that purpose.
Furthermore, if -mcx16 is part of QEMU's choice of a basic x86_64
instruction set, it should be applied to cross-compiled x86_64 code too;
it is plausible that tests/tcg would want to cover cmpxchg16b as well,
for example. In the end this makes just as much sense as a per sub-build
tweak, so move the flag to meson.build and cross_cc_cflags_x86_64.
This leaves out contrib/plugins, which would fail when attempting to use
__sync_val_compare_and_swap_16 (note it does not do yet); while minor,
this *is* a disadvantage of this change. But building contrib/plugins
with a Makefile instead of meson.build is something self-inflicted just
for the sake of showing that it can be done, and if this kind of papercut
started becoming a problem we could make the directory part of the meson
build. Until then, we can live with the limitation.
