[PATCH] x86/vmx: Remove IO bitmap from minimal VMX requirements



This patch is a result of a downstream bug report[1]. Xen fails to
create a HVM domain while running under VMware Fusion 12.1.0 on
a modern Intel Core i9 CPU:

(XEN) VMX: CPU0 has insufficient CPU-Based Exec Control (b5b9fffe; requires 
2299968c)
(XEN) VMX: failed to initialise.

It seems that Apple hypervisor API doesn't support this feature[2].

Move this bit from minimal required features to optional.
