Adding network testing support for xm-test with hvm.
1) Added capability for create_disk_image script to copy pcnet32
driver to disk.img. Added new cmdline option so can specify
driver directory.
2) Added configuration --with-driver-dir=DVRDIR option so
can specify where driver is at configure time. "builtin"
keyword lets specify that driver is built into kernel.
3) Updated Makefile.am to build with new options.
4) Updated README to reflect changes.
