[libvirt] vTPM support in libvirt

[Andreas Sommer]

Thanks for your help so far. I changed the basics needed for vTPM 
support, which include XML <--> native configuration stuff (you will see 
it in the patch).
I'm not really sure what else has to be done - maybe reading from 
xenstore?? Hope you can give me some tips on what is still missing.

I did already try "./virsh domxml-from-native xen-xm 
some_config_file_that_contains_the_vtpm_line" and it gave me the correct 
XML answer :)

Please find attached the unified diff.

Best regards
    Andreas
