libxc: provide XENCTRL_HAS_XC_INTERFACE feature test macro

This makes it easier for out-of-tree callers to tell which version of
the libxc interface this version of xenctrl.h provides.

+ * both return ints being the file descriptor.  In 4.1 and later, they
+ * return an xc_interface* and xc_evtchn*, respectively - ie, a
+ * pointer to an opaque struct.  This #define is provided in 4.1 and
+ * later, allowing out-of-tree callers to more easily distinguish
+ * between, and be compatible with, both versions.
