Support for nested KVM is handled via a kernel module configuration

While it's possible to fetch the kmod config values via virKModConfig,
unfortunately that is the static value and we need to get the
current/dynamic value from the kernel file system.
So this patch adds a new API virHostKVMSupportsNesting that will
search the 3 kernel modules to get the nesting value and check if
it is 'Y' (or 'y' just in case) or '1' to return a true/false
whether
the KVM kernel supports nesting.
We need to do this in order to handle cases where adjustments to
the value are made after libvirtd is started to force a refetch of
the latest QEMU capabilities since the correct CPU settings need
to be made for a guest to add the "vmx=on" to/for the guest config.
Ah, so if nested KVM is not enabled that qemu might report vmx:false and
if it is enabled it reports vmx:true?
ACK in that case.
