[PATCH v4 19/20] kvm: arm/arm64: Expose supported physical address limit for VM

Advertise the maximum physical address size supported by the host
for a VM as a capability (like max_vcpus and memslots). This could
be used by the userspace to choose the appropriate size for a given
VM.

Changes since V3:
- Switch to a CAP, that can be checkd via EXTENSIONS on KVM device
fd, rather than a dedicated ioctl.
