[libvirt] [PATCH v1 2/4] libxl: describe host cpu features based on hwcaps

Parse libxl_hwcap accounting for versions since Xen 4.4 - Xen 4.7.
libxl_hwcaps is a set of cpuid leaves output that is described in [0] or
[1] in Xen 4.7. This is a collection of CPUID leaves that we version
in libvirt whenever feature words are reordered or added. Thus we keep the
common ones in one struct and others for each version. Since
libxl_hwcaps doesn't appear to have a stable format across all supported
versions thus we need to keep track of changes as a compromise until it's
exported in xen libxl API. We don't fail in initializing the driver in case
parsing of hwcaps failed for that reason. In addition, change the notation
on PAE feature such that is easier to read which bit it corresponds.

[0] xen/include/asm-x86/cpufeature.h
[1] xen/include/public/arch-x86/cpufeatureset.h

Changes since RFC:
 * Don't hardcode hwcap versions and instead do it behind a macro or enum,
 as suggested by Cedric.
 * Add comment to the (previously silent) change regarding the pae
   feature notation.
 * Fix spelling mistakes.
 * Do not return error on feature parsing failure on
 libxlCapsInitCPU.
 * Properly free resources on libxlCapsNodeData instead of leaking out
 data variable.
 * Tested on a Xen 4.4 too, with an older CPU.
