Allow to specify the size of per-vCPU trace buffer upon
domain creation. This is zero by default (meaning: not enabled).

As there were many different ideas about how the naming scheme should be
and what kinds of values should be passed where, I would like to discuss
this particular topic. Right now we have it pretty confusing:

* user sets "processor_trace_buffer_size" option in xl.cfg
* domain creation hypercall uses "vmtrace_pt_order" (derived from above)
* hypervisor side stores "vmtrace_pt_size" (converted back to bytes)

This seems to suggest that 4 kB is allowed. But looking at the code 
below, you are forbidding the value.

You don't only use the order in the hypercall but also the public 
interface of libxl.

> * hypervisor side stores "vmtrace_pt_size" (converted back to bytes)

My preference would be to use the size everywhere, but if one still 
prefer to use the order in the hypercall then the libxl interface should 
use the size.

See my comment in v4 for the rationale.
