target/ppc: Fix host PVR matching for KVM

ppc_cpu_compare_class_pvr_mask() should match the best CPU class in the
family, because it is used by the KVM subsystem to find the host CPU
class. Since commit 03ae4133ab8 ("target-ppc: Add pvr_match()
callback"), it matches any class in the family (the first one in the
comparison list).

Since commit f30c843ced5 ("ppc/pnv: Introduce PowerNV machines with
fixed CPU models"), pnv has relied on pnv_match having these new
semantics to check machine compatibility with a CPU family.

Resolve this by adding a parameter to the pvr_match function to select
the best or any match, and restore the old behaviour for the KVM case.

Prior to this fix, e.g., a POWER9 DD2.3 KVM host matches to the
power9_v1.0 class (because that happens to be the first POWER9 family
CPU compared). After the patch, it matches the power9_v2.0 class.

This approach requires pnv_match contain knowledge of the CPU classes
implemented in the same family, which feels ugly. But pushing the 'best'
match down to the class would still require they know about one another
which is not obviously much better. For now this gets things working.
