target/arm: Query host CPU features on-demand at instance init

Currently we query the host CPU features in the class init function
for the TYPE_ARM_HOST_CPU class, so that we can later copy them
from the class object into the instance object in the object
instance init function. This is awkward for implementing "-cpu max",
which should work like "-cpu host" for KVM but like "cpu with all
implemented features" for TCG.

Move the place where we store the information about the host CPU from
a class object to static variables in kvm.c, and then in the instance
init function call a new kvm_arm_set_cpu_features_from_host()
function which will query the host kernel if necessary and then
fill in the CPU instance fields.

This allows us to drop the special class struct and class init
function for TYPE_ARM_HOST_CPU entirely.

We can't delay the probe until realize, because the ARM
instance_post_init hook needs to look at the feature bits we
set, so we need to do it in the initfn. This is safe because
the probing doesn't affect the actual VM state (it creates a
separate scratch VM to do its testing), but the probe might fail.
Because we can't report errors in retrieving the host features
in the initfn, we check this belatedly in the realize function
(the intervening code will be able to cope with the relevant
fields in the CPU structure being zero).
