KVM: x86/xen: allow shared_info to be mapped by fixed HVA

The shared_info page is not guest memory as such. It is a dedicated page
allocated by the VMM and overlaid onto guest memory in a GFN chosen by the
guest and specified in the XENMEM_add_to_physmap hypercall. The guest may
even request that shared_info be moved from one GFN to another by
re-issuing that hypercall, but the HVA is never going to change.

Because the shared_info page is an overlay the memory slots need to be
updated in response to the hypercall. However, memory slot adjustment is
not atomic and, whilst all vCPUs are paused, there is still the possibility
that events may be delivered (which requires the shared_info page to be
updated) whilst the shared_info GPA is absent. The HVA is never absent
though, so it makes much more sense to use that as the basis for the
kernel's mapping.

Hence add a new KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_SHARED_INFO_HVA attribute type for this
purpose and a KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_SHARED_INFO_HVA flag to advertize its
availability. Don't actually advertize it yet though. That will be done in
a subsequent patch, which will also add tests for the new attribute type.

Also update the KVM API documentation with the new attribute and also fix
it up to consistently refer to 'shared_info' (with the underscore).
