arch-x86: X86ISA default vector_string to HygonGenuine
This commit,
https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/public/gem5/+/64831, changed the
default 'vendor_string' for the 'X86ISA' SimObject from 'M5 Simulator'
and 'AuthenticAMD'. Unforunately due to an issue highlighted here:
https://gem5.atlassian.net/browse/GEM5-1300 we cannot use the
'AuthenticAMD'. Therefore, this change updates the default vector_string
to HygonGenuine.
The HygonGenuine is simple but works.
