libxl, docs: Use arch-specific default paging memory
The default paging memory (descibed in `shadow_memory` entry in xl
config) in libxl is used to determine the memory pool size for xl
guests. Currently this size is only used for x86, and contains a part
of RAM to shadow the resident processes. Since on Arm there is no
shadow mode guests, so the part of RAM to shadow the resident processes
is not necessary. Therefore, this commit splits the function
`libxl_get_required_shadow_memory()` to arch specific helpers and
renamed the helper to `libxl__arch_get_required_paging_memory()`.
On x86, this helper calls the original value from
`libxl_get_required_shadow_memory()` so no functional change intended.
On Arm, this helper returns 1MB per vcpu plus 4KB per MiB of RAM
for the P2M map and additional 512KB.
Also update the xl.cfg documentation to add Arm documentation
according to code changes and correct the comment style following Xen
coding style.
This is part of CVE-2022-33747 / XSA-409.
