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).
- Updated xl.cfg man.
- Default and minimal videoram changed to 16 mb if stdvga is set and upstream
qemu is being used. This is required by qemu 1.4 to avoid a xen memory error
(qemu 1.3 doesn't complain about it, probably buggy).
