Generating libvirt packages per make rpm, "with_libxl=1" and "with_xen=1",
adds strict runtime dependencies per libxenlight for xen-libs package from
core libvirt-libs package.  This is not necessary and unfortunate since
those dependencies set demand to "xen-libs" package even when there's no
need for libvirt xen or libxl driver components.

This can also be seen in the local build artifacts, e.g.

$libvirtsrc> ldd src/.libs/libvirt.so | grep xen
  libxenlight.so.4.9 => /usr/lib64/libxenlight.so.4.9 (0x00007f896ec3e000)
  libxentoollog.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libxentoollog.so.1 (0x00007f896e827000)
  libxenevtchn.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libxenevtchn.so.1 (0x00007f896c144000)
  libxenctrl.so.4.9 => /usr/lib64/libxenctrl.so.4.9 (0x00007f896bf16000)
  libxenguest.so.4.9 => /usr/lib64/libxenguest.so.4.9 (0x00007f896bce8000)
  libxenstore.so.3.0 => /usr/lib64/libxenstore.so.3.0 (0x00007f896badd000)
  ...

This patch is to have two separate xenconfig lib tool libraries: one for
core libvirt (without XL), and a another that contains xl for libxl driver
(libvirt_driver_libxl_impl.la) which when loading the driver, loads the
remaining symbols (xen{Format,Parse}XL. For the user/sysadmin, this means
the xen dependencies are moved into libxl driver, instead of core libvirt.

I think this is a good short-term fix given the code structure. During my sparse free cycles I've been working on a series to remove the legacy xen driver. Perhaps as part of that work (or a follow-up) I should move the files in src/xenconfig to src/libxl since the libxl driver will be the only user of src/xenconfig once the legacy xen driver is removed.

There's nothing left in this file after removing these :-). I think the file can be removed, along with its inclusion in {USED_,}SYM_FILES in src/Makefile.am.
