Set CPU features in appropriate libxl structure.
Use old "xend" syntax, because it allow control over any bit and libvirt
already have API for translating features to appropriate cpuid bits. And
also features naming in libxl do not match the one of libvirt in
multiple cases.
How does the new syntax look like? And would it be actually better? The
problem with setting individual CPUID bits is very fragile. That's
mostly what we naively started to do in qemu driver and we're fighting
with it since then. It's way too easy to create a virtual CPU which a
guest OS will crash on.
