Add support for CPUID setting based on <cpu> element. Since libxl format
support only adjusting specific bits over host CPU, only
mode='host-passthrough' is supported - other values are rejected (including
default 'custom'). This will break some configurations working before (bare
<cpu> element with for example NUMA configuration), but libxl driver never
supported full 'custom' mode - it was silently ignored, which might lead to
some unexpected effects.
Since mode='host-passthrough' is now necessary to specify CPU options, do not
enable nested HVM feature by mere presence of this element, require explicit
enabling "vmx" or "svm" bits. Nested HVM is still in "preview" state, so better
be explicit here.

Marek Marczykowski-Górecki (6):
libxl: error out on not supported CPU mode, instead of silently ignoring
libxl: do not enable nested HVM by mere presence of <cpu> element
libxl: add support for CPUID features policy
tests: check CPU features handling in libxl driver
xenconfig: add CPUID handling to domXML <-> xl.cfg conversion
tests: add test case for CPUID in xenconfig driver
