Since this is something between PV and HVM, it makes sense to put the
setting in place where domain type is specified.
To enable it, use <os><type machine="xenpvh">...</type></os>. It is
also included in capabilities.xml, for every supported HVM guest type - it
doesn't seems to be any other requirement (besides new enough Xen).

Changes in v2 proposed by Jim:
- use new_arch_added var instead of i == nr_guest_archs for clarity
- improve comment
- adjust for now required Xen >= 4.6 (remove part for Xen < 4.5)

In v1 I forgot to mention that libvirt generally frowns upon version checks, but
I don't think we have any other options since pvh is not advertised in Xen's
meager capabilities reporting. Also, I doubt anyone cares. No one is going to
backport pvh enablement to xen < 4.9 and expect to also use libvirt with that.

AFAIK, pvh does not support hostdev passthrough, correct? If that is the case,
libxlMakeDomainDeviceHostdevCaps() will also need adjusted. Can you double check
that all of the capabilities are reported correctly for pvh? FYI on my xen 4.10

Related observation: The <cpu> caps for machine type xenfv needs to be updated.
It reports host-passthrough mode as unsupported.
