xl.cfg: videoram and stdvga documentation improvements
- videoram: Document that only qemu-xen-traditional device-model currently supports changing the amount of video memory for stdvga graphics device. - videoram: Better document the default amount of videoram for both stdvga and Cirrus. - stdvga: Add a note that stdvga allows bigger amount of videoram and bigger resolutions.
