    target/i386: add compat for migrating error code

    If cpu->env.has_error_code is true, backwards migration of a VM from
    a QEMU binary with commit 27535e9cca to a QEMU binary without commit
    27535e9cca will fail:

    > kvm: error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device 'cpu'

    In practice, wrongly setting the error code to 0 on the target is
    often unproblematic, so additionally checking error_code != 0 in
    cpu_errcode_needed() is not enough to mitigate the issue. Instead, add
    proper machine version compat handling.
