    docs/commandline: Refresh document for 4.5
    
    * Add options whose code has been committed (without a patch to this file).
    * Remove options which have been deleted (without a patch to this file).
    * Tweak some formatting for consistency.
    * Nuke some trailing whitespace.
    
    I believe this document now identifies the exact set of command line options
    accepted by Xen, for both x86 and ARM architectures.
