tools/libxl: Improve videoram setting

- If videoram setting is less than 8 mb shows error and exit.
- Added videoram setting for qemu upstream with cirrus (added in qemu 1.3).
Which version of qemu does Xen currently ship? Do we need some compat
code with work with e.g. qemu 1.2 or do older versions silently accept +
ignore this option?

For now not tried with older qemu, I'll try with xen 4.2 that has older qemu.

- Updated xl.cfg man.

Unfortunately the patch is whitespace damaged and doesn't apply. The
indentation is off too (might be related to the whitespace damage?)

Do not apply this patch now, I'll improve it before following your advices.

The indentation here is wrong as well.
