Add support to read and modify values of hypervisor runtime parameters
via the hypervisor file system.
As runtime parameters can be modified via a sysctl, too, this path has
to take the hypfs rw_lock as writer.
For custom runtime parameters the connection between the parameter
value and the file system is done via an init function which will set
the initial value (if needed) and the leaf properties.

Provide version and compile information in /buildinfo/ node of the
Xen hypervisor file system. As this information is accessible by dom0
only no additional security problem arises.

On the 2019 Xen developer summit there was agreement that the Xen
hypervisor should gain support for a hierarchical name-value store
similar to the Linux kernel's sysfs.
In the beginning there should only be basic support: entries can be
added from the hypervisor itself only, there is a simple hypercall
interface to read the data.
Add a feature document for setting the base of a discussion regarding
the desired functionality and the entries to add.
