x86/xen_hello_world.xsplice: Test payload for patching 'xen_extra_version'.

This change demonstrates how to generate an xSplice ELF payload.

The idea here is that we want to patch in the hypervisor
the 'xen_version_extra' function with an function that will
return 'Hello World'. The 'xl info | grep extraversion'
will reflect the new value after the patching.

To generate this ELF payload file we need:
 - C code of the new code (xen_hello_world_func.c).
 - C code generating the .xsplice.funcs structure
   (xen_hello_world.c)
 - The address of the old code (xen_extra_version). We
   retrieve it by  using 'nm --defined' on xen-syms.
 - The size of the new and old code for which we use
   nm --defined -S on our code and xen-syms respectively.

There are two C files and one header files generated
during build. One could make this one C file if the
size of the newly patched function size was known in
advance (or an random value was choosen).

There is also a strict order of compiling:
 1) xen_hello_world_func.c
 2) config.h - extract the size of the new function,
    the old function and the old function address.
 3) xen_hello_world.c - which contains the .xsplice.funcs
    structure.
 4) Link the object files in an xen_hello_world.xsplice file.

The use-case is simple:

$xen-xsplice load /usr/lib/debug/xen_hello_world.xsplice
$xen-xsplice list
 ID                                     | status
----------------------------------------+------------
xen_hello_world                           APPLIED
$xl info | grep extra
xen_extra              : Hello World
$xen-xsplice revert xen_hello_world
Performing revert: completed
$xen-xsplice unload xen_hello_world
Performing unload: completed
$xl info | grep extra
xen_extra              : -unstable

 ## Hypercalls
 
 We will employ the sub operations of the system management hypercall (sysctl).
