[libvirt] [PATCH] virsh: Teach cmdFreepages to work with lxc driver

Some drivers don't expose available huge page sizes in the
capabilities XML. For instance, LXC driver is one of those.
This has a downside that when virsh is trying to get
aggregated info on free pages per all NUMA nodes, it fails.
The problem is that the virNodeGetFreePages() API expects
caller to pass an array of page sizes he is interested in.
In virsh, this array is filled from the capabilities from
'/capabilities/host/cpu/pages' XPath. As said, in LXC
there's no such XPath and therefore virsh fails currently.
But hey, we can fallback: the page sizes are exposed under
'/capabilities/host/topology/cells/cell/pages'. The page
size can be collected from there, and voilà the command
works again. But now we must make sure that there are no
duplicates in the array passed to the public API. Otherwise
we won't get as beautiful output as we are getting now.
