Introduce global libxl option for enabling nested HVM feature, similar
to kvm module parameter. This will prevent enabling experimental feature
by mere presence of <cpu mode='host-passthrough'> element in domain
config, unless explicitly enabled. <cpu mode='host-passthrough'> element
may be used to configure other features, like NUMA, or CPUID.

Changes since v4:
- add nested_hvm option to test_libvirtd_libxl.aug.in and libvirtd_libxl.aug
- make it possible to override nested_hvm=0 with explicit <feature
policy='require' name='vmx'/>
- split xenconfig changes into separate commits
Changes since v3:
- use config option nested_hvm, instead of requiring explicit <feature
...> entries
- title changed from "libxl: do not enable nested HVM by mere presence
of <cpu> element"
- xenconfig: don't add <feature policy='force' name='vmx'/> since it is
implied by presence of <cpu> element
- xenconfig: produce <cpu> element even when converting on host not
supporting vmx/svm, to not lose setting value
Changes since v2:
- new patch
