docs: xl.pod.1: introduction to FLASK

Add a simple introduction to FLASK to the xl man page, at the beginning
of the FLASK chapter. Link to the xsm-flask.txt document.
Currently FLASK, TMEM and PCI PASS-THROUGH are defined as =head2 so they
look like sub-chapters of VIRTUAL DEVICE COMMANDS. Make them =head1.

Based on a text written by Daniel De Graaf.

B<FLASK> is a security framework that defines a mandatory access control policy
providing fine-grained controls over Xen domains, allowing the policy writer
to define what interactions between domains, devices, and the hypervisor are
permitted. Some example of what you can do using XSM/FLASK:
- Prevent two domains from communicating via event channels or grants
- Control which domains can use device passthrough (and which devices)
- Restrict or audit operations performed by privileged domains
- Prevent a privileged domain from arbitrarily mapping pages from other
domains.
You can find more details on how to use FLASK and an example security
policy here: L<http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/misc/xsm-flask.txt>
