Enable the large decrementer by default on POWER9 cpu models. The
default value applied is that provided in the cpu class.

So, the rule with default_caps_with_cpu() is that it can reduce the
value from the machine-global default, but never increase it (because
that could change guest visible behaviour for existing machine
versions).

I think the line above will do that.

And this part I think is redundant, because hdecr_bits won't be large
for anything pre-POWER9.
