[libvirt] [PATCH] libxl: allow libxl to calculate shadow mem requirements

Long, long ago before libxl_get_required_shadow_memory() was
made publicly available, its code was copied to the libxl driver
for calculating shadow memory requirements of HVM domains.

Long ago, libxl_get_required_shadow_memory() was exported in
libxl_utils.h and included in xen-devel packages everywhere.

Remove the copied code, which has become stale, and let libxl
provode a proper shadow memory value.

I ensured libxl_get_required_shadow_memory() was available
as far back as Xen 4.4, which is the minimum version supported
by the libxl driver.
