libxc: set flag for support of linear p2m list in domain builder

Set the SIF_VIRT_P2M_4TOOLS flag for pv-domUs in the domain builder
to indicate the Xen tools have full support for the virtual mapped
linear p2m list.

This will enable pv-domUs to drop support of the 3 level p2m tree
and use the linear list only. Without setting this flag some kernels
might limit themselves to 512 GB memory size in order not to break
migration.
