domcapabilities: remove recommended CPU features from security features

These features are only recommended to be enabled since they improve
performance of the VMs if security features are enabled.

pcid is a very useful perf feature, but missing in some silicon
so not portable.

pdpe1gb lets the guest use 1 GB pages which is good for perf
but again not all silicon can do it.

amd-ssbd is a security feature which fixes the same SSBD flaws as the
virt-ssbd feature does. virt-ssbd is usable across all CPU models
affected by SSBD, while amd-ssbd is only available in very new silicon.
So virt-ssbd is the bette rchoice.

amd-no-ssb just indicates that the CPU is not affected by SSBD, so not
critical to expose. I expect a future named CPU model will include that
where appropriate.
