KVM: selftests: Require DISABLE_NX_HUGE_PAGES cap for NX hugepage test

Require KVM_CAP_VM_DISABLE_NX_HUGE_PAGES for the entire NX hugepage test
instead of skipping the "disable" subtest if the capability isn't
supported by the host kernel.  While the "enable" subtest does provide
value when the capability isn't supported, silently providing only half
the promised coveraged is undesirable, i.e. it's better to skip the test
so that the user knows something.

Alternatively, the test could print something to alert the user instead
of silently skipping the subtest, but that would encourage other tests
to follow suit, and it's not clear that it's desirable to take selftests
in that direction.  And if selftests do head down the path of skipping
subtests, such behavior needs first-class support in the framework.

Opportunistically convert other test preconditions to TEST_REQUIRE().
