docs: clarify KVM related kernel parameters' descriptions

The descriptions of certain KVM related kernel parameters can be
confusing. They state "Disable ...," which may make people think that
setting them to 1 will disable the associated feature when in fact the
opposite is true.

This commit addresses this issue by revising the descriptions of these
parameters by using "Control..." rather than "Enable/Disable...".
1==enabled or 0==disabled can be communicated by the description of
default value such as "1 (enabled)" or "0 (disabled)".

Also update the description of KVM's default value for kvm-intel.nested
as it is enabled by default.
