Mirror the behavour of /proc/sys/abi/sve_default_vector_length
under the real linux kernel. We have no way of passing along
a real default across exec like the kernel can, but this is a
decent way of adjusting the startup vector length of a process.

The crypto overhead of emulating pauth can be significant for
some workloads. Add two boolean properties that allows the
feature to be turned off, on with the architected algorithm,
or on with an implementation defined algorithm.
We need two intermediate booleans to control the state while
parsing properties lest we clobber ID_AA64ISAR1 into an invalid
intermediate state.

We add the kvm-steal-time CPU property and implement it for machvirt.
A tiny bit of refactoring was also done to allow pmu and pvtime to
use the same vcpu device helper functions.

The company 'Arm' went through a rebranding some years back
involving a recapitalization from 'ARM' to 'Arm'. As a result
our documentation is a bit inconsistent between the two forms.
It's not worth trying to update everywhere in QEMU, but it's
easy enough to make docs/ consistent.
Note that "ARMv8" and similar architecture names, and
older CPU names like "ARM926" still retain all-caps.

Now we have somewhere to put arm-specific rst documentation,
we can move arm-cpu-features.rst from the docs/ top level
directory into docs/system/arm/.
