When updating guest CPUID entries to emulate runtime behavior, e.g. when
the guest enables a CR4-based feature that is tied to a CPUID flag, also
update the vCPU's cpu_caps accordingly. This will allow replacing all
usage of guest_cpuid_has() with guest_cpu_cap_has().

Take care not to update guest capabilities when KVM is updating CPUID
entries that *may* become the vCPU's CPUID, e.g. if userspace tries to set
bogus CPUID information. No extra call to update cpu_caps is needed as
the cpu_caps are initialized from the incoming guest CPUID, i.e. will
automatically get the updated values.

Note, none of the features in question use guest_cpu_cap_has() at this
time, i.e. aside from settings bits in cpu_caps, this is a glorified nop.

Nit, why here we use caps instead of vcpu? Looks a bit weird.
