Start xenpaging via config option.

TODO: add config option for different pagefile directory
TODO: add libxl support
TODO: parse config values like 42K, 42M, 42G, 42%

Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering <olaf@xxxxxxxxx>

---
v3:
  move debug for stopping xenpaging to destroyXenPaging
v2:
  unlink logfile instead of truncating it.
  allows hardlinking for further inspection
