[PATCH v9 09/12] xen: add runtime parameter access support to hypfs

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

Add support to read and modify values of hypervisor runtime parameters
via the hypervisor file system.

As runtime parameters can be modified via a sysctl, too, this path has
to take the hypfs rw_lock as writer.

For custom runtime parameters the connection between the parameter
value and the file system is done via an init function which will set
the initial value (if needed) and the leaf properties.

---
V3:
- complete rework
- support custom parameters, too
- support parameter writing

V6:
- rewording in docs/misc/hypfs-paths.pandoc (Jan Beulich)
- use memchr() (Jan Beulich)
- use strlcat() (Jan Beulich)
- rework to use a custom parameter init function instead of a reference
  to a content variable, allowing to drop default strings
- style correction (Jan Beulich)
- dropping param_append_str() in favor of a custom function at its only
  use site

V7:
- fine tune some parameter initializations (Jan Beulich)
- call custom_runtime_set_var() after updating the value
- modify alignment in Arm linker script to 4 (Jan Beulich)

V8:
- modify alignment in Arm linker script to 8 (Julien Grall)
- fix ept runtime parameter reporting (Jan Beulich)
- rebase to support CONFIG_HYPFS

V9:
- add empty line in arm linker script (Jan Beulich)
- drop array size enum members (Jan Beulich)
- hide struct param_hypfs completely without CONFIG_HYPFS (Jan Beulich)
- don't write size from hypfs_write_custom() (Jan Beulich)
- drop underscores from macro parameters (Jan Beulich)
- add parantheses around macro parameters (Jan Beulich)
- don't set initial string param size (Jan Beulich)
- move code in vmcs.c in preparation of patch 12 (Jan Beulich)
