KVM: x86: Turn off KVM_WERROR by default for all configs
Don't enable KVM_WERROR by default for x86-64 builds as KVM's one-off -Werror enabling is *mostly* superseded by the kernel-wide WERROR, and enabling KVM_WERROR by default can cause problems for developers working on other subsystems. E.g. subsystems that have a "zero W=1 regressions" rule can inadvertently build KVM with -Werror and W=1, and end up with build failures that are completely uninteresting to the developer (W=1 is prone to false positives, especially on older compilers). Keep KVM_WERROR as there are combinations where enabling WERROR isn't feasible, e.g. the default FRAME_WARN=1024 on i386 builds generates a non-zero number of warnings and thus errors, and there are far too many warnings throughout the kernel to enable WERROR with W=1 (building KVM with -Werror is desirable (with a sane compiler) as W=1 does generate useful warnings). Opportunistically drop the dependency on !COMPILE_TEST as it's completely meaningless (it was copied from i195's -Werror Kconfig), as the kernel's WERROR is explicitly *enabled* for COMPILE_TEST=y kernel's, i.e. enabling -Werror is obviosly not dependent on COMPILE_TEST=n.
