[PATCH 3/3] spapr: Set ibm, pa-features HTM from KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM

Advertise HTM support in ibm, pa-features if KVM indicates support when
queried via a new capability (KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM).

If KVM returns false for the capability (which may indicate that the
host kernel doesn't support the capability itself) attempt to
determine availability using a fallback method based on KVM being
KVM-HV and HTM being available to the QEMU process.
