This patch provides vMCE save/restore when migration.
1. MCG_CAP is well-defined. However, considering future cap extension,
we keep save/restore logic that Jan implement at c/s 24887;
2. MCi_CTL2 initialized by guestos when booting, so need save/restore
otherwise guest would surprise;
3. Other MSRs do not need save/restore since they are either error-
related and pointless to save/restore, or, unified among all vMCE
platform;

This allows migration to a host with less MCA banks than the source
host had, while without this patch accesses to the excess banks' MSRs
caused #GP-s in the guest after migration (and it depended on the guest
kernel whether this would be fatal).
A fundamental question is whether we should also save/restore MCG_CTL
and MCi_CTL, as the HVM save record would better be defined to the
complete state that needs saving from the beginning (I'm unsure whether
the save/restore logic allows for future extension of an existing
record).
Of course, this change is expected to make migration from new to older
Xen impossible (again I'm unsure what the save/restore logic does with
records it doesn't even know about).
The (trivial) tools side change may seem unrelated, but the code should
have been that way from the beginning to allow the hypervisor to look
at currently unused ext_vcpucontext fields without risking to read
garbage when those fields get a meaning assigned in the future. This
isn't being enforced here - should it be? (Obviously, for backwards
compatibility, the hypervisor must assume these fields to be clear only
when the extended context's size exceeds the old original one.)
A future addition to this change might be to allow configuration of the
number of banks and other MCA capabilities for a guest before it starts
(i.e. to not inherits the values seen on the first host it runs on).

c/s 17b754cab7b0 introduced a per-VCPU viridian structure to
store the APIC assist pfn. This patch adds support for save and
restore of that value.

This patch eliminate the global variables in libxenctrl (used for
logging and error reporting).
Instead the information which was in the global variables is now in a
new xc_interface* opaque structure, which xc_interface open returns
instead of the raw file descriptor; furthermore, logging is done via
xentoollog.
There are three new parameters to xc_interface_open to control the
logging, but existing callers can just pass "0" for all three to get
the old behaviour.
All libxc callers have been adjusted accordingly.
Also update QEMU_TAG for corresponding qemu change.
