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.
|
||||
|
||||
