    common/gnttab: Introduce command line feature controls
    
    This patch was originally released as part of XSA-226.  It retains the same
    command line syntax (as various downstreams are mitigating XSA-226 using 
this
    mechanism) but the defaults have been updated due to the revised XSA-226
    patched, after which transitive grants are believed to functioning
    properly.

+Control various aspects of the grant table behaviour available to guests.
+
+* `max-ver` Select the maximum grant table version to offer to guests.  Valid
+version are 1 and 2.
+* `transitive` Permit or disallow the use of transitive grants.  Note that the
+use of grant table v2 without transitive grants is an ABI breakage from the
+guests point of view.
