[PATCH V2 1/3] Xen: Add support for qemu command-line passthrough

Xen supports passing arbitrary arguments to the QEMU device model via
the 'extra' member of the public libxl_domain_build_info structure.
This patch adds a 'xen' namespace extension, similar to the QEMU and
bhyve drivers, to map arbitrary arguments to the 'extra' member. Only
passthrough of arguments is supported. Passthrough of environment
variables or capabilities adjustments is not supported.

+ <h2><a id="xencommand">Pass-through of arbitrary command-line arguments
+ to the qemu device model</a></h2>
+
+ <p><span class="since">Since 6.7.0</span>, the Xen driver supports passing
+ arbitrary command-line arguments to the qemu device model used by Xen with
+ the <code><xen:commandline></code> element under <code>domain</code>.
+ In order to use command-line pass-through, an XML namespace request must be
+ issued that pulls in <code>http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/xen/1.0</code>.
+ With the namespace in place, it is then possible to add
+ <code><xen:arg></code>sub-elements to
+ <code><xen:commandline></code> describing each argument passed to
+ the device model when starting the domain.
+ </p>
+ <p>The following example illustrates passing agruments to the QEMU device
+ model that define a floppy drive, which Xen does not support through its
+ public APIs:
+ </p>
+ <pre>
+<domain type="xen" xmlns:xen="http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/xen/1.0">
+ ...
+ <xen:commandline>
+ <xen:arg value='-drive'/>
+ <xen:arg value='file=/path/to/image,format=raw,if=none,id=drive-fdc0-0-0'/>
+ <xen:arg value='-global'/>
+ <xen:arg value='isa-fdc.driveA=drive-fdc0-0-0'/>
+ </xen:commandline>
+</domain>
+ </pre>
