perf(computes): the create page reads the host's capabilities once

Measured on the create page: 751 ms and 72 libvirt calls, now 123 ms and
13. Its getters parsed the host's capabilities some 60 times, each read
from libvirt. A connection object (one per request) now reads them once,
and the domain capabilities once per emulator, arch, machine and domain
type. The VM page's cached_reads block no longer needs its own copy.
