    tools/configure: Honour XEN_COMPILE_ARCH and _TARGET_ for shim
    
    The pvshim can only be built 64-bit because the hypervisor is only
    64-bit nowadays.  The hypervisor build supports XEN_COMPILE_ARCH and
    XEN_TARGET_ARCH which override the information from uname.  The pvshim
    build runs out of the tools/ directory but calls the hypervisor build
    system.
    
    If one runs in a Linux 32-bit userland with a 64-bit kernel, one used
    to be able to set XEN_COMPILE_ARCH.  But nowadays this does not work.
    configure sees the target cpu as 64-bit and tries to build pvshim.
    The build prints
      echo "*** Xen x86/32 target no longer supported!"
    and doesn't build anything.  Then the subsequent Makefiles try to
    install the non-built pieces.
    
    Fix this anomaly by causing configure to honour the Xen hypervisor way
    of setting the target architecture.
    
    In principle this user behaviour is not handled quite right, because
    configure will still see 64-bit and so all the autoconf-based
    architecture testing will see 64-bit rather than 32-bit x86.  But the
    tools are in fact generally quite portable: this particular location
    in configure{.ac,} is the only place in tools/ where 64-bit x86 is
    treated differently from 32-bit x86, so the fix is sufficient and
    correct for this use case.
    
    It remains the case that XEN_COMPILE_ARCH or XEN_TARGET_ARCH to a
    non-x86 architecture, when configure thinks things are x86, or vice
    versa, will not work right.
    
    (This is a bugfix to 8845155c831c
      pvshim: make PV shim build selectable from configure
    which inadvertantly deleted the logic to only build the shim for
    XEN_TARGET_ARCH != x86_32.)
    
    I have rerun autogen.sh, so this patch contains the fix to configure
    as well as the source fix to configure.ac.
