    xen/scripts: adapt gen_compile_commands.py to Xen
    
    Two changes from the Linux original:
    
     - Linux's compiler invocations end with the source file
       ("... -c -o foo.o foo.c"), and the script's line pattern relies
       on that; Xen's cmd_cc_o_c places "-c $<" before "-o" and "-MQ",
       so on a Xen object tree the unmodified script matches nothing and
       produces an empty database.  Adjust _LINE_PATTERN to capture the
       command up to and including "-c" plus the source file, dropping
       the remainder, which database consumers do not need.
    
     - Reword the docstring and help text to refer to Xen.
    
    The support for reading object lists from archives and modules.order
    is unused in Xen but retained to minimise divergence from the
    original.
