This PR adds support for AArch64 x18 virtualization for Linux guests. The x18 register is a general-purpose register on Linux whereas a reserved platform register on macOS and Windows. To work around this mismatch, this PR lets the rewriter replaces Linux guests' x18 access with memory-slot-backed access. Confirm this works using Linux-on-Linux as a test platform. It has some known coverage limitations like indirect branch with x18.
