Long ago in commit dfa1e1dd53 the scheduler weight was accidentally
hardcoded to 1000. Weight is a setting with no unit since it is
relative to the weight of other domains. If no weight is specified,
libxl defaults to 256.
Instead of hardcoding the weight to 1000, honor any <shares> specified
in <cputune>. libvirt's notion of shares is synonomous to libxl's
scheduler weight setting. If shares is unspecified, defer default
weight setting to libxl.
Removing the hardcoded weight required some test fixup. While at it,
add an explicit test for <shares> conversion to scheduler weight.

The libxl library allows a libxl_domain_config object to be serialized
from/to a JSON string. Use this to allow testing of the XML to
libxl_domain_config conversion process. Test XML is converted to
libxl_domain_config, which is then serialized to json. A json template
corresponding to the test XML is converted to a libxl_domain_config
object using libxl_domain_config_from_json(), and then serialized
back to json using libxl_domain_config_to_json(). The two json
docs are then compared.
Using libxl to convert the json template to a libxl_domain_config
object and then back to json provides a simple way to account for
any changes or additions to the json representation across Xen
releases.
