[RFC PATCH 1/1] KVM: PPC: Report single stepping capability

When calling the KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG ioctl, userspace might request
the next instruction to be single stepped via the
KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP control bit of the kvm_guest_debug structure.

We currently don't have support for guest single stepping implemented
in Book3S HV.

This patch adds the KVM_CAP_PPC_GUEST_DEBUG_SSTEP capability in order
to inform userspace about the state of single stepping support.
