xl: support xend empty cdrom device syntax
xend accepts `,hdc:cdrom,r' as an empty CDROM drive. However this is
not consistent with the existing xl syntax in
docs/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt which requires `,,hdc:cdrom,r'
(the additional positional paramter is the format).
We fix this by spotting the case specially: when the target is empty
and the format contains a colon, reinterpret the format as
<vdev>:<devtype>.
