xen/arm: optimize the size of struct vcpu

When CONFIG_NEW_VGIC=y and CONFIG_ARM_64=y, the size of struct vcpu
exceeds one page, which requires allocating two pages and led to the
introduction of MAX_PAGES_PER_VCPU.

To remove the need for MAX_PAGES_PER_VCPU, the vgic member of NEW_VGIC's
struct vgic_cpu member private_irqs is changed to a pointer to struct
vgic_irq.
As a result, the size of struct vcpu for Arm64 is reduced to 2176 bytes
in the case when CONFIG_ARM_64=y and CONFIG_NEW_VGIC=y, compared to 3840
bytes (without these changes and with CONFIG_ARM_64=y) and 4736 bytes
(without these changes and with both CONFIG_ARM_64=y and CONFIG_NEW_VGIC=y).
Note that all numbers are based on defconfig with the mentioned options
enabled or disabled as specified.

Since the private_irqs member is now a pointer, vcpu_vgic_init() and
vcpu_vgic_free() are updated to allocate and free private_irqs instance.

As struct vcpu now fits into one page, drop MAX_PAGES_PER_VCPU.
