x86/spec-ctrl: command line handling adjustments

For one, "no-xen" should not imply "no-eager-fpu", as "eager FPU" mode
is to guard guests, not Xen itself, which is also expressed so by
print_details().

And then opt_ssbd, despite being off by default, should also be cleared
by the "no" and "no-xen" sub-options.
