xen/arm: cpufeature: Add helper to check constant caps

Some capababilities are set right during boot and will never change
afterwards. At the moment, the function cpu_have_caps will check whether
the cap is enabled from the memory.

It is possible to avoid the load from the memory by using an
ALTERNATIVE. With that the check is just reduced to 1 instruction.
