The CPU vendor IDs are required to be unique bits because they're used
for vendor_specific bitmask in the struct resctrl_test.
Consider for example their usage in test_vendor_specific_check():
	return get_vendor() & test->vendor_specific

However, the definitions of CPU vendor IDs in file resctrl.h is quite
subtle as a bitmask value:
  #define ARCH_INTEL     1
  #define ARCH_AMD       2

A clearer and more maintainable approach is to define these CPU vendor
IDs using BIT(). This ensures each vendor corresponds to a distinct bit
and makes it obvious when adding new vendor IDs.

Accordingly, update the return types of detect_vendor() and get_vendor()
from 'int' to 'unsigned int' to align with their usage as bitmask values
and to prevent potentially risky type conversions.

Furthermore, introduce a bool flag 'initialized' to simplify the
get_vendor() -> detect_vendor() logic. This ensures the vendor ID is
detected only once and resolves the ambiguity of using the same variable
'vendor' both as a value and as a state.
