Reorder the condition checks within the HVM_MONITOR_SINGLESTEP_BREAKPOINT
case to enable fast singlestepping independently of the singlestep monitor
being enabled. Previously, fast singlestepping required the singlestep
monitor to be explicitly enabled through xc_monitor_singlestep, even though
it operates entirely within Xen and does not generate external events.

This patch addresses a behavior discrepancy in the handling of altp2m views,
where upon the creation and subsequent EPT violation, the page access
permissions were incorrectly inherited from the hostp2m instead of respecting
the altp2m default_access.
Previously, when a new altp2m view was established with restrictive
default_access permissions and activated via xc_altp2m_switch_to_view(),
it failed to trigger an event on the first access violation. This behavior
diverged from the intended mechanism, where the altp2m's default_access
should dictate the initial permissions, ensuring proper event triggering on
access violations.
The correction involves modifying the handling mechanism to respect the
altp2m view's default_access upon its activation, eliminating the need for
setting memory access permissions for the entire altp2m range (e.g. within
xen-access.c). This change not only aligns the behavior with the expected
access control logic but also results in a significant performance improvement
by reducing the overhead associated with setting memory access permissions
across the altp2m range.

This patch addresses an issue where the fast singlestep setting would persist
despite xc_domain_debug_control being called with XEN_DOMCTL_DEBUG_OP_SINGLE_STEP_OFF.
Specifically, if fast singlestep was enabled in a VMI session and that session
stopped before the MTF trap occurred, the fast singlestep setting remained
active even though MTF itself was disabled. This led to a situation where, upon
starting a new VMI session, the first event to trigger an EPT violation would
cause the corresponding EPT event callback to be skipped due to the lingering
fast singlestep setting.
The fix ensures that the fast singlestep setting is properly reset when
disabling single step debugging operations.

Add the missing `vmtrace_buf_kb` field to the OCaml bindings to match the
vm.cfg configuration, correcting an oversight from its initial introduction.
