For the pseries-2.12 machine type, make the spapr-caps SPAPR_CAP_CFPC
and SPAPR_CAP_SBBC default to workaround. Thus if the host is capable
the guest will be able to take advantage of these workarounds by default.
Otherwise if the host doesn't have these capabilities qemu will fail to
start and they will have to be explicitly disabled on the command line
with:
-machine pseries,cap-cfpc=broken,cap-sbbc=broken

V2 -> V3:
 - Set caps to workaround in the class default rather than the
   pseries-2.12 initialiser.

I've decided to hold off on this for a little bit longer for two
reasons: 1) I realised how badly it will break things for machines
which don't yet updated firmware (both POWER8 and POWER9) which
includes a very large proportion of test machines.  2) I've looked
more closely at what x86 has done.  For themthe mitigations are
controlled by CPU options, not machine level, but the "plain" types
are still the unmitigated variants, with variants for the versions
with microcode updated with mitigations.  See
