xen: add kconfig for event_fifo

Evtchn fifos are not needed on smaller systems; the older interface is
lightweight and sufficient. Also, event_fifo causes runtime anonymous
memory allocations, which are undesirable.  Additionally, it exposes an
extra interface to the guest, which is also undesirable unless
necessary.

Make it possible to disable evtchn fifo.
