Add MachineClass::auto_enable_numa field. When it is true, a NUMA node

this will always create a numa node (that will affect not only RAM but
also all other components that depends on numa state (like CPUs)),
where as spapr_populate_memory() was only faking numa node in DT for RAM.
It makes non-numa configuration impossible.
Seeing David's ACK on the patch it might be fine, but I believe
commit message should capture that and explain why the change in
behavior is fine.

After a quick look, all spapr code seems to have the same
behavior when nb_numa_nodes==0 and nb_numa_nodes==1, but I'd like
to be sure.

David and/or Tao Xu: do you confirm there's no ABI change at all
on spapr after implicitly creating a NUMA node?

Even without this patch and HMAT patch, if without numa configuration, global nb_numa_nodes is always existing and default is 0, so nb_nodes will be auto set to 1, so from my point of view, this patch will not change ABI.

And I would also want to listen David's opinion.
