RTC interrupt reinjection has no known negative effect. Lack of
RTC interrupt reinjection, though, has negative effects: time drift
for Windows guests which use it as a timer source.

Based on that, enable lost_tick_policy=slew option as default.

v2: do not change default for older machines types (Paolo Bonzini)
