x86/ats: Disable Address Translation Services by default

Xen cannot safely use any ATS functionality until it gains asynchronous queued
invalidation support, because of the current synchronous wait for completion.

Do not turn ATS on by default.

While editing the default in the command line documentation, correct the
statement regarding PCI Passthrough.  ATS is purely a performance
optimisation, and is certainly not required for PCI Passthrough to function.
