George Dunlap 2165380e70 SUPPORT.md: Multiple IOREQ servers are experimental
The code has been there in the hypervisor for several releases, but
there is no toolstack support.

While we're here delete some trailing whitespace.

George Dunlap eef83fd2af docs: Remove redundant qemu-xen-security document
All this information is now covered in SUPPORT.md.

Most of the emulated hardware is obvious a couple of the items are
worth pointing out specifically.

"xen_disk" is listed under "Blkback"

"...the PCI host bridge and the PIIX3 chipset...": This statement is
redundant -- the PCI host bridge is a part of the piix3 chipset, which
is listed as supported.

xenfb: The "graphics" side of "xenfb" is listed under "PV Framebuffer
(backend)", and the "input" side of "xenfb" (including both keyboard
and mouse) is listed under "PV Keyboard (backend)".

Backing storage image format is listed in the "Blkback" section.

Fix 'stdvga' spelling while we're here.

George Dunlap a64893f328 SUPPORT.md: Specify support for various image formats
QEMU supports various image formats, but we only provide security
support for raw, qcow, qcow2, and vhd formats.

Rather than duplicate this information under the "x86/Emulated
storage" section, just refer to the "Blkback" section.

Add a machine-readable file to describe what features are in what
state of being 'supported', as well as information about how long this
release will be supported, and so on.

The document should be formatted using "semantic newlines" [1], to make
changes easier.

Begin with the basic framework.
