    libxl,xl: add max_event_channels option to xl configuration file
    
    Add the 'max_event_channels' option to the xl configuration file to
    limit the number of event channels that domain may use.
    
    Plumb this option through to libxl via a new libxl_build_info field
    and call xc_domain_set_max_evtchn() in the post build stage of domain
    creation.
    
    A new LIBXL_HAVE_BUILDINFO_EVENT_CHANNELS #define indicates that this
    new field is available.
    
    The default value of 1023 limits the domain to using the minimum
    amount of global mapping pages and at most 5 xenheap pages.

+Limit the guest to using at most N event channels (PV interrupts).
+Guests use hypervisor resources for each event channel they use.
+
+The default of 1023 should be sufficient for typical guests.  The
+maximum value depends what the guest supports.  Guests supporting the
+FIFO-based event channel ABI support up to 131,071 event channels.
+Other guests are limited to 4095 (64-bit x86 and ARM) or 1023 (32-bit
