xl: extend autoballoon xl.conf option with an "auto" option
autoballoon=1 is not recommened if dom0_mem was used to reduce the amount of dom0 memory. Instead of requiring users to change xl.conf if they do this, extend the autoballoon option with a new choice: "auto". With autoballoon="auto", autoballooning will be disabled if dom0_mem was used on the Xen command line. For consistency, accept "on" and "off" as valid autoballoon options (1 and 0 are still accepted). The default remains "on" for now.
