x86, nfit_test: Add unit test for memcpy_mcsafe()



Given the fact that the ACPI "EINJ" (error injection) facility is not
universally available, implement software infrastructure to validate the
memcpy_mcsafe() exception handling implementation.

For each potential read exception point in memcpy_mcsafe(), inject a
emulated exception point at the address identified by 'mcsafe_inject'
variable. With this infrastructure implement a test to validate that the
'bytes remaining' calculation is correct for a range of various source
buffer alignments.

This code is compiled out by default. The CONFIG_MCSAFE_DEBUG
configuration symbol needs to be manually enabled by editing
Kconfig.debug. I.e. this functionality can not be accidentally enabled
by a user / distro, it's only for development.
