Xen PV guest support for 8.2

Add Xen PV console and network support, the former of which enables the
Xen "PV shim" to be used to support PV guests.

Also clean up the block support and make it work when the user passes
just 'drive file=IMAGE,if=xen' on the command line.

Update the documentation to reflect all of these, taking the opportunity
to simplify what it says about q35 by making unplug work for AHCI.

Ignore the VCPU_SSHOTTMR_future timer flag, and advertise the 'fixed'
per-vCPU upcall vector support, as newer upstream Xen do.

hw/xen: add support for Xen primary console in emulated mode

The primary console is special because the toolstack maps a page into
the guest for its ring, and also allocates the guest-side event channel.
The guest's grant table is even primed to export that page using a known
grant ref#. Add support for all that in emulated mode, so that we can
have a primary console.

For reasons unclear, the backends running under real Xen don't just use
a mapping of the well-known GNTTAB_RESERVED_CONSOLE grant ref (which
would also be in the ring-ref node in XenStore). Instead, the toolstack
sets the ring-ref node of the primary console to the GFN of the guest
page. The backend is expected to handle that special case and map it
with foreignmem operations instead.

We don't have an implementation of foreignmem ops for emulated Xen mode,
so just make it map GNTTAB_RESERVED_CONSOLE instead. This would probably
work for real Xen too, but we can't work out how to make real Xen create
a primary console of type "ioemu" to make QEMU drive it, so we can't
test that; might as well leave it as it is for now under Xen.

Now at last we can boot the Xen PV shim and run PV kernels in QEMU.
