libxl: set XEN_QEMU_CONSOLE_LIMIT for QEMU

XSA-180 provides a patch to QEMU to bodge QEMU logging issue. We
explicitly set the limit in libxl for 4.7.

Introduce a function for setting the environment variable and call it in
the right places.

This version of libxl does not pass a dm_envs to the
*build_device_model_args* functions.  Instead, call
libxl__set_qemu_env_for_xsa_180 in libxl__spawn_local_dm.

The other call ultimate site of *build_device_model_args* (ie of
libxl__build_device_model_args) is in libxl__spawn_stub_dm, where we
don't need to set the env var.
