Xen supports passing arbitrary arguments to the QEMU device model via
the 'extra' member of the public libxl_domain_build_info structure.
This patch adds a 'xen' namespace extension, similar to the QEMU and
bhyve drivers, to map arbitrary arguments to the 'extra' member. Only
passthrough of arguments is supported. Passthrough of environment
variables or capabilities adjustments is not supported.

Changes:
- Update the descriptions of --current & --config flags.
For --config, the reason to rephrase "next boot" to "next start"
is: "Next boot may still imply somebody selecting "reboot" in the
guest OS and fully expecting the changes to be applied." (per Peter
Krempa)
For --current, existing documentation says:
"If *--current* is specified, affect the current guest state."
It's not entirely clear what states can "current" mean or imply. So
rephrase it in context of the other two related flags --live and
--config.
- While at it, I also took the liberty to replace the few occurrences
of "peristent domain[s]" with "persistent guest[s]"
Fix all occurrences (i.e. as many as I could spot) of this.

It's a optional attribute in libvirt, and qemu will choose default
role for ivshmem device if the user is not specified.
With device property 'role', the value can be 'master' or 'peer'.
- 'master' (means 'master=on' in qemu), the guest will copy
the shared memory on migration to the destination host.
- 'peer' (means 'master=off' in qemu), the migration is disabled.

The semantics of the backup operation don't strictly require that all
disks being backed up are part of the same incremental part (when a disk
was checkpointed/backed up separately or in a different VM), or even
they may not have a previous checkpoint at all (e.g. when the disk
was freshly hotplugged to the vm).
In such cases we can still create a common checkpoint for all of them
and backup differences according to configuration.
This patch adds a per-disk configuration of the checkpoint to do the
incremental backup from via the 'incremental' attribute and allows
perform full backups via the 'backupmode' attribute.
Note that no changes to the qemu driver are necessary to take advantage
of this as we already obey the per-disk 'incremental' field.
