[PATCH v3 5/7] KVM: SEV: Don't advertise support for unusable VM types

Commit 0aa6b90ef9d7 ("KVM: SVM: Add support for allowing zero SEV ASIDs")
made it possible to make it impossible to use SEV VMs by not allocating
them any ASIDs.

Commit 6c7c620585c6 ("KVM: SEV: Add SEV-SNP CipherTextHiding support") did
the same thing for SEV-ES.

Do not export KVM_X86_SEV(_ES)_VM as supported types if in either of these
situations, so that userspace can use them to determine what is actually
supported by the current kernel configuration.

Also move the buildup to a local variable so it is easier to add additional
masking in future patches.
