Historically we have used a bare xen:/// URI for connecting to the
legacy Xen driver. The new libxl Xen driver follows the new practice
of allowing '/system' as a path, as well as bare '/' for compat with
the old Xen driver.
This documents xen:///system as the preferred format for Xen, leaving
xen:/// as an undocumented feature just for back-compat.
