xc: use XENMEM_claim_pages hypercall during guest creation.

We add an extra parameter to the structures passed to the
PV routine (arch_setup_meminit) and HVM routine (setup_guest)
that determines whether the claim hypercall is to be done.

The contents of the 'claim_enabled' is defined as an 'int'
in case the hypercall expands in the future with extra
flags (for example for per-NUMA allocation). For right now
the proper values are: 0 to disable it or 1 to enable
it.

If the hypervisor does not support this function, the
xc_domain_claim_pages and xc_domain_get_outstanding_pages
will silently return 0 (and set errno to zero).
