qemu upstream uses git submodules. git archive does not work with git
submodules (and could not work properly with them, because this is one
of the many things it is inherently impossible to do correctly with
git submodules).
qemu upstream have worked around this by providing a rather scary
shell script which attempts to do roughly the right thing. It's close
enough that we can use it with only minor precautions.
Unfortunately this does mean that `mktarball' now executes the qemu
source code it was using, rather than merely shuffling it about, as it
did previously. I think this is a less bad ill than copying (and,
effectively, forking) the scary script.

Provide mini-os url and revision in Config.mk
Make stubdom targets depend on mini-os-dir target. Make
subtree-force-update{,-all} depend on mini-os-dir-force-update.
Also make mktarball script generate mini-os archive.
Original mini-os directory is renamed to mini-os-intree to help reduce
patch length. That directory will be deleted in a separate patch.

Changes in v3:
1. Put mini-os targets in main Makefile.
2. Stubdom clean and distclean don't depend on mini-os-dir.
Changes in v2:
1. Use hash in Config.mk.
At the moment, making a release tarball is an annoyingly manual
process that involves running "git archive" into a temporary directory.
Script this process up and make a target, so that the release manager
can simply type "make src-tarball-release" and have everything show up
nice and neat in dist/xen-$version.tar.gz. "make src-tarball" will
make a version number based on git describe, which will typically have
the most recent tag, number of commits since that tag, and the git
commit id of the current HEAD.
