Check for __cpuidex and __get_cpuid_count separately

Previously we would only check for the availability of __cpuidex if
the related __get_cpuid_count was not available on a platform.

Future commits will need to access hypervisor information about
the TSC frequency of x86 CPUs. For that case __cpuidex is the only
viable option for accessing a high leaf (e.g. 0x40000000), since
__get_cpuid_count does not allow that.

__cpuidex is defined in cpuid.h for gcc/clang, but in intrin.h
for MSVC, so adjust tests to suite. We also need to cast the array
of unsigned ints to signed, since gcc (with -Wall) and clang emit
warnings otherwise.
