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.

libxl supports setting the domain real time clock to local time or
UTC via the localtime field of libxl_domain_build_info. Adjustment
of the clock is also supported via the rtc_timeoffset field. The
libvirt libxl driver has never supported these settings, instead
relying on libxl's default of a UTC real time clock with adjustment
set to 0.
There is at least one user that would like the ability to change
the defaults

Add support for specifying a local time clock and for specifying an
adjustment for both local time and UTC clocks. Add a test case to
verify the XML to libxl_domain_config conversion.
Local time clock and clock adjustment is already supported by the
XML <-> xl.cfg converter. What is missing is an explicit test for
the conversion. There are plenty of existing tests that all use UTC
with 0 adjustment. Hijack test-fullvirt-tsc-timer to test a local
time clock with 1 hour adjustment.
