x86/pass-through: documents as security-unsupported when sharing resources

When multiple devices share resources and one of them is to be passed
through to a guest, security of the entire system and of respective
guests individually cannot really be guaranteed without knowing
internals of any of the involved guests.  Therefore such a configuration
cannot really be security-supported, yet making that explicit was so far
missing.

This is XSA-461 / CVE-2024-31146.
