Archlinux just updated glibc to 2.43+r5+g856c426a7534-1 and that
causes libxl build failure:
libxl_cpuid.c: In function ‘libxl_cpuid_parse_config_xend’:
libxl_cpuid.c:447:16: error: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
447 | endptr = strchr(str, '=');

libxl_cpuid.c:452:16: error: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]

libxl_cpuid.c:454:20: error: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
454 | endptr = strchr(str, 0);

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
Add missing consts. Note in libxl_cpuid_parse_config_xend() non-const
endptr still is needed, to be compatible with the second argument to
strtoul(). Add second variable for this reason.
And while at it, move semicolon to its own line

Remove the code in tools for running a guest with qemu-traditional.
This covers xl, libxl, libacpi, hvmloader and the related python and
go bindings.

Use abort() instead of just _exit() in libxl__alloc_failed(). This
is more friendly for debugging, as it will trap into debugger,
systemd-coredump will collect coredump/backtrace etc. It's much more
useful than just "libxl: FATAL ERROR: memory allocation failure (...)"
message without context where it actually failed.

Introduce an option to allow selecting a behavior similar to the pre
Xen 4.15 one for accesses to MSRs not explicitly handled. Since commit
84e848fd7a and 322ec7c89f accesses to MSRs not explicitly
handled by Xen result in the injection of a #GP to the guest. This
is a behavior change since previously a #GP was only injected if
accessing the MSR on the real hardware would also trigger a #GP, or if
the attempted to be set bits wouldn't match the hardware values (for
PV). The reasons for not leaking hardware MSR values and injecting a
#GP are fully valid, so the solution proposed here should be
considered a temporary workaround until all the required MSRs are
properly handled.
This seems to be problematic for some guests, so introduce an option
to fallback to this kind of legacy behavior without leaking the
underlying MSR values to the guest.
When the option is set, for both PV and HVM don't inject a #GP to the
guest on MSR read if reading the underlying MSR doesn't result in a
#GP, do the same for writes and simply discard the value to be written
on that case.
Note that for guests restored or migrated from previous Xen versions
the option is enabled by default, in order to keep a compatible
MSR behavior. Such compatibility is done at the libxl layer, to avoid
higher-level toolstacks from having to know the details about this flag.

Carve out all libxenlight related sources and move them to
tools/libs/light in order to use the generic library build environment.
The closely related sources for libxl-save-helper and the libxl test
environment are being moved, too.
