irq: MSI first, and poll the INTx lines that never arrive

PCI drivers took their interrupt from INTERRUPT_LINE. On real hardware
that is the 8259's number, not the IOAPIC pin the device is wired to
(that is in ACPI _PRT, which needs AML), so nothing ever arrived. xHCI
is entirely interrupt-driven, so the USB keyboard and a USB root would
have hung even on a clean boot. Under QEMU the two numbers agree,
which is why it never showed.

- pci_irq_attach()/pci_irq_detach(): MSI, then MSI-X if the driver
  allows it, then INTx. The handler is registered before MSI is
  enabled, so no edge is lost. xHCI, e1000, r8169 and rtl8139 use it.
- Lines 24-29 are MSI vectors. The LAPIC error vector moves from 19,
  which is a PCI pin on Intel chipsets, to 30. Nothing is placed at or
  above vector 64 (T_SYSCALL).
- A storming line is masked and its handlers are polled instead of
  being left to eat the CPU. A level line that has had a handler for 2 s
  and never fired is polled every tick by a kernel thread.

Tested in QEMU q35 with the root on a USB stick: xHCI and e1000e on
MSI; then MSI disabled and INTx deliberately misrouted, where xHCI got
zero interrupts and the root still mounted through the poller. i440fx
INTx and the rtl8139 hand-over are unchanged.
