SUPPORT: downgrade Physical CPU Hotplug to Experimental

The feature is not commonly used, and we don't have hardware to test it,
not in OSSTest, not in Gitlab, and not even ad-hoc manually by community
members. We could use QEMU to test it, but even that it is known not to
work on our end.

Also take the opportunity to rename the feature to "ACPI CPU Hotplug"
for clarity.
