Subject: [PATCH RFC 3/4] mitigations: Expand 'mitigations=off' to include optional software mitigations

The 'mitigations=off' cmdline option disables all CPU mitigations at
runtime.  It's intended for users who are running with trusted user
space and don't want the performance impact associated with all the
mitigations.

Up until now, it was only used for CPU mitigations.  However, there can
also be optional software mitigations which have performance impact.

Expand 'mitigations=' to include optional software mitigations.  After
all there's nothing in the "mitigations" name which limits it to CPU
vulnerabilities.

In theory we could introduce separate {cpu,sw}_mitigations= options, but
for the time being there's no need to separate them out.

It's simpler to have them combined since the use case of "I have trusted
user space and don't want the performance impacts of unneeded
mitigations" is the same, regardless of the source of the bug.

Move the interfaces around and rename them to reflect the new broader
impact of mitigations=off.

No functional changes.
