From: Rohitashv Kumar <roohiit@amazon.de>

show_netdevs() lists each conditionally-compiled netdev backend behind
its CONFIG_* guard (CONFIG_SLIRP for "user", CONFIG_L2TPV3 for
"l2tpv3", CONFIG_NET_BRIDGE for "bridge", ...). The "passt" entry was
added unconditionally, so "-netdev help" advertises passt even in
builds configured with --disable-passt. Trying to use it then fails
with "Parameter 'type' does not accept value 'passt'", since the QAPI
NetClientDriver enum member "passt" is gated by 'if': 'CONFIG_PASST'.

Guard the help entry with CONFIG_PASST so the advertised backends match
those actually compiled into the binary.
