We could drop a fair bit of code by bumping the minimum version to 4.13.
That would allow us to unconditionally set LIBXL_API_VERSION to 0x041300 and
drop support for the old 0x040500. We got stuck there since Xen didn't
advertise support for 0x040700 and 0x040800 until commit c3999835df2, which
was included in 4.13 - opps! According to repology
Debian 11: 4.14.x
Fedora 37: 4.16.x
openSUSE Leap15.4/SLE15 SP4: 4.16.x
Ubuntu 22.10: 4.16.x
Maybe bumping the minimum version to 4.13 is a viable proposition?
Ubuntu 20.04 comes with Xen 4.11, so unfortunately we can't do that
for another year :(
