[PATCH V2 1/2] libxl: drop support for Xen < 4.6

[Jim Fehlig <jfehlig@xxxxxxxx>]

Currently the libxl driver claims support for Xen >= 4.4, but
Xen 4.4 and 4.5 are no longer supported upstream. Let's increase
the minimum supported version to 4.6.

Since Xen 4.6 contains a pkgconfig file, drop the now unused code
that falls back to using LIBVIRT_CHECK_LIB in the absence of
pkgconfig file.
