We commit the output of autogen.sh, and the outputs of flex and bison,
to help people without recent versions of the corresponding tools.

Our usual practice hitherto has been to declare a version of Debian
that we are tracking, and have committers run autogen.sh, or make -C
tools/libxl clean && make -C tools/libxl all, on that version of
Debian.

Patches to osstest to detect violations of this rule would be welcome.

After 4.14 we can perhaps revisit which of these files should be
committed and how they should be managed.

You can consider this...

...once the appropriate maintainer acks are given.

FYI, Building Xen requires flex/bison, this is to build Kconfig. Linux
upstream stop shipping generated file, so when I updated our version of
Kconfig, I didn't try to generate them myself. But I don't know if it
needs to be recent versions of flex/bison.
