Implement the GCIE_LEGACY capability as a system feature to be able to
check for support from KVM. The type is explicitly
ARM64_CPUCAP_EARLY_LOCAL_CPU_FEATURE, which means that the capability
is enabled early if all boot CPUs support it. Additionally, if this
capability is enabled during boot, it prevents late onlining of CPUs
that lack it, thereby avoiding potential mismatched configurations
which would break KVM.

This is the right type for the capability intended, running the test on
each boot time CPUs and setting the cap accordingly.
