tools/libfsimage: Remove the XEN_FSIMAGE_FSDIR environment variable

This was reported to the security team, demonstrating that code execution
could be achieved, but without a demonstration of a priviliege boundary being
bypassed.

Still, it's a high risk path with no obvious evidence of having been used even
for debugging, so remove the environment variable and use the build time
$(libdir)/xenfsimage path only.
