[libvirt] [PATCH] libxl: implement NUMA capabilities reporting

From: Dario Faggioli <dario.faggioli at citrix.com>

Starting from Xen 4.2, libxl has all the bits and pieces in place
for retrieving an adequate amount of information about the host
NUMA topology. It is therefore possible, after a bit of shuffling,
to arrange those information in the way libvirt wants to present
them to the outside world.

Therefore, with this patch, the <topology> section of the host
capabilities is properly populated, when running on Xen, so that
we can figure out whether or not we're running on a NUMA host,
and what its characteristics are.

This would be a nice addtion to libvirt 1.1.2, wrapping up Dario's initial
work on NUMA support in the libxl driver.  Since he is on vacation the next
weeks, I rebased his patch on the recent libxl capabilities cleanup.
