Roger Pau Monne 42bf49d74b libxl: add support for running bootloader in restricted mode
Much like the device model depriv mode, add the same kind of support for the
bootloader.  Such feature allows passing a UID as a parameter for the
bootloader to run as, together with the bootloader itself taking the necessary
actions to isolate.

Note that the user to run the bootloader as must have the right permissions to
access the guest disk image (in read mode only), and that the bootloader will
be run in non-interactive mode when restricted.

If enabled bootloader restrict mode will attempt to re-use the user(s) from the
QEMU depriv implementation if no user is provided on the configuration file or
the environment.  See docs/features/qemu-deprivilege.pandoc for more
information about how to setup those users.

Bootloader restrict mode is not enabled by default as it requires certain
setup to be done first (setup of the user(s) to use in restrict mode).

This is part of XSA-443 / CVE-2023-34325
