[PATCH 1/3] kvmtool: Abstract KVM_VM_TYPE into a weak function

Most architectures pass a fixed value for their VM type. However,
arm64 uses it as a parameter describing the size of the guest's
physical address space.

In order to support this, introduce a kvm__get_vm_type() helper
that only returns KVM_VM_TYPE for now.
