    tools/libxl: Switch Arm guest type to PVH
    
    Currently, the toolstack is considering Arm guest always PV. However,
    they are very similar to PVH because HW virtualization extension are used
    and QEMU is not started. So switch Arm guest type to PVH.
    
    To keep compatibility with toolstack creating Arm guest with PV type
    (e.g libvirt), libxl will now convert those guests to PVH.
    
    Furthermore, the default type for Arm in xl will now be PVH to allow
    smooth transition for user.
