arm64 requires a vcpu fd (KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR vcpu ioctl) to probe
support for steal-time. However this is unnecessary, as only a KVM
fd is required, and it complicates userspace (userspace may prefer
delaying vcpu creation until after feature probing). Introduce a cap
that can be checked instead. While x86 can already probe steal-time
support with a kvm fd (KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID), we add the cap there
too for consistency.

+This capability indicates that KVM supports steal time accounting.
+When steal time accounting is supported it may be enabled with
+architecture-specific interfaces. For x86 see
+Documentation/virt/kvm/msr.rst "MSR_KVM_STEAL_TIME". For arm64 see
