The original commit (v11.9.0-rc1~84) added a dependency checking
of VIR_DOMAIN_HYPERV_STIMER on VIR_DOMAIN_HYPERV_VPINDEX
(meaning, if stimer is on then vpindex must also be on). It
justified this by citing QEMU documentation:

Per QEMU documentation (docs/system/i386/hyperv.rst):

``hv-stimer``
  Enables Hyper-V synthetic timers. <snip/>

  Requires: ``hv-vpindex``, ``hv-synic``, ``hv-time``

While the documentation is almost correct (see previous commit
when it's incorrect), the code express no dependency on vpindex
(kvm_hyperv_properties[] array from target/i386/kvm/kvm.c):

    [HYPERV_FEAT_STIMER] = {
        .desc = "synthetic timers (hv-stimer)",
        .flags = {
            {.func = HV_CPUID_FEATURES, .reg = R_EAX,
             .bits = HV_SYNTIMERS_AVAILABLE}
        },
        .dependencies = BIT(HYPERV_FEAT_SYNIC) | BIT(HYPERV_FEAT_TIME)
    },

If transitivity is taken into account then the documentation is
of course correct (minus that one aforementioned special case).
Well, there's no need for us to implement transitional checks.
VIR_DOMAIN_HYPERV_STIMER requires VIR_DOMAIN_HYPERV_SYNIC and
whether that requires VIR_DOMAIN_HYPERV_VPINDEX is another
question.

Just drop the transitive check.
