Adam Spiers 3b9116739d Update SEV trait docs to avoid misleading people
Since the AMD SEV spec was approved for Stein, it was subsequently
realised that a trait would not be sufficient for tracking SEV-capable
compute hosts.  A resource class is also needed to track the inventory
of "slots" available on these hosts, since the number of slots limits
how many guests with encrypted memory can run concurrently.

Therefore the design pivoted somewhat, and now
trait:HW_CPU_AMD_SEV=required will not be the correct way to request
SEV functionality:

  https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/train/approved/amd-sev-libvirt-support.html

For reference, the previous spec is here:

  https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/stein/approved/amd-sev-libvirt-support.html

Another lesson learnt from the Stein cycle was that it is not safe to
assume that the work targeted for one cycle will actually land in that
cycle, therefore it's safer for documentation of an in-progress
feature to be transparent that it's in progress and not yet usable.
