target/arm: Add sve-default-vector-length cpu property

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.

+SVE User-mode Default Vector Length Property
+--------------------------------------------
+
+For qemu-aarch64, the cpu property ``sve-default-vector-length=N`` is
+defined to mirror the Linux kernel parameter file
+``/proc/sys/abi/sve_default_vector_length``.  The default length, ``N``,
+is in units of bytes and must be between 16 and 8192.
+If not specified, the default vector length is 64.
+
+If the default length is larger than the maximum vector length enabled,
+the actual vector length will be reduced.  Note that the maximum vector
+length supported by QEMU is 256.
+
+If this property is set to ``-1`` then the default vector length
+is set to the maximum possible length.
