target/arm/kvm: host cpu: Add support for sve<N> properties

Allow cpu 'host' to enable SVE when it's available, unless the
user chooses to disable it with the added 'sve=off' cpu property.
Also give the user the ability to select vector lengths with the
sve<N> properties. We don't adopt 'max' cpu's other sve property,
sve-max-vq, because that property is difficult to use with KVM.
That property assumes all vector lengths in the range from 1 up
to and including the specified maximum length are supported, but
there may be optional lengths not supported by the host in that
range. With KVM one must be more specific when enabling vector
lengths.
