vmscape=force option currently defaults to AUTO mitigation. This lets
attack-vector controls to override the vmscape mitigation. Preventing the
user from being able to force VMSCAPE mitigation.

When vmscape mitigation is forced, allow it be deployed irrespective of
attack vectors. Introduce VMSCAPE_MITIGATION_ON that wins over
attack-vector controls.
