Reporting whether virtualization is enabled/disabled

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I think showing status of virtualization support in the output of .cpu() can be useful.

Describe the solution you’d like Get the status of virtualization support. On UNIX operating systems virtualization can be detected from CPU flags vmx (Intel) and svm (AMD). I wasn’t able to find an easy way to check virtualization on Windows?

Suggested behavior

si.cpu()
---
{
  manufacturer: 'Intel®',
  ...
  virtualization: false
}

Describe alternatives you’ve considered I considered checking CPU flags in my code, but that doesn’t help with checking virtualization status on Windows. Also I think this functionality seems like a good addition for systeminformation package.
