[PATCH v6 05/14] libxl: Load guest BIOS from file

[Anthony PERARD <anthony.perard@citrix.com>]

The path to the BIOS blob can be overriden by the xl's
bios_path_override option, or provided by u.hvm.bios_firmware in the
domain_build_info struct by other libxl user.

Signed-off-by: Anthony PERARD <anthony.perard@citrix.com>

---
Changes in V6:
- use goto for error handling of libxl__load_hvm_firmware_module()

Changes in V5:
- man page, use B<> to highlight config option in description.
- rename config option from `bios_override` to `bios_path_override`
- store libxl_read_file_contents() return value into r instead of e
  (just renamed the variable)
- rename domain_build_info.u.hvm.bios_firmware to system_firmware

Changes in V4:
- updating man page to have bios_override described.
- return ERROR_INVAL in libxl__load_hvm_firmware_module when the file is
  empty.

Changes in V3:
- move seabios_path and ovmf_path to libxl_path.c (with renaming)
- fix some coding style
- warn for empty file
- remove rombios stuff (will still be built-in hvmloader)
- rename field bios_filename in domain_build_info to bios_firmware to
  follow naming of acpi and smbios.
- log an error after libxl_read_file_contents() only when it return ENOENT
- return an error on empty file.
- added #define LIBXL_HAVE_BUILDINFO_HVM_BIOS_FIRMWARE
