[OSSTEST,8/8] Tolerate lack of platform-specific hosts in old Xen branches

Commit Message

Right now we have a situation where these can't all be made to work
because because some older Xen branches are hard to make work on
current Debian stable, and we have some hardware (which we have tagged
as specific "platforms") which doesn't work with oldstable.

This seems like a general problem, so fix it this way.

Note that we still treat these failed allocations as failures, so they
are subject to regression analysis and ought not to appear willy-nilly
on existing branches.

Runvar dump shows the addition of this runvar
   hostalloc_missing_expected=1
to
   qemu-upstream-4.6-testing
   xen-4.6-testing
   ...
   qemu-upstream-4.14-testing
   xen-4.14-testing
inclusive.
