firecracker adjustments for v12

- Drop setting memory attributes to private (workaround was needed to
  get KVM to fault non-coco VMs through guest_memfd always)
- Drop no-kvmclock (we have a workaround patch now)
- Drop VM types (guest_memfd is now supported on all vm types).
- Update kvm capability numbers
