[Bug 1218817] [NEW] [FFE] Update to Xen-4.3 in Saucy

[Stefan Bader]

Public bug reported:

Xen-4.3 released in July and beside the new features and improvements described in [1] the packaging has been improved to:
- continue to support qemu-dm (also called qemu-xen-traditional)
- automatically migrate xm/xend persistent domains to use the current 4.3
- export libxenlight properly into libxen-dev (required to get libvirt libxl support)
- add support to compile on armhf

Since this new release also marks a bigger change as 32bit hypervisors
are no longer supported and the old xm/xend stack now being officially
deprecated for the second release [2] (making a complete removal
expected sooner than later), it is important to get this into Saucy to
allow this to settle before the next LTS. Also the Arm support might be
quite important.
