KVM: x86/mmu: Document and enforce MMU-writable and Host-writable invariants
SPTEs are tagged with software-only bits to indicate if it is "MMU-writable" and "Host-writable". These bits are used to determine why KVM has marked an SPTE as read-only. Document these bits and their invariants, and enforce the invariants with new WARNs in spte_can_locklessly_be_made_writable() to ensure they are not accidentally violated in the future. Opportunistically move DEFAULT_SPTE_{MMU,HOST}_WRITABLE next to EPT_SPTE_{MMU,HOST}_WRITABLE since the new documentation applies to both. No functional change intended.
