libxl: suppress device assignment to HVM guest when there is no IOMMU

This in effect copies similar logic from xend: While there's no way to
check whether a device is assigned to a particular guest,
XEN_DOMCTL_test_assign_device at least allows checking whether an
IOMMU is there and whether a device has been assign to _some_
guest.

For the time being, this should be enough to cover for the missing
error checking/recovery in other parts of libxl's device assignment
paths.

There remains a (functionality-, but not security-related) race in
that the iommu should be set up earlier, but this is too risky a
change for this stage of the 4.3 release.

This is a security issue, XSA-61.
