Customised xen-4.16 build for Ubuntu Jammy

PPA description

Build based on a backport of 4.16.2-1 from Kinetic:
- https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen

Changes:
- init.d -> systemd for xen service startup
- build with vtpm and xenstore stubdoms
- fix for xen-network-common.sh when writing mtu to xenstore

TODO:
- build with ioemu stubdom(?)
- build xsm policy

HOWTO:
- Boot using the xenstore stubdomain: This PPA provides a pv and pvh version of the xenstore daemon which can run as a separate guest domain. The theory being that any exploit of xenstore via xenbus cannot escalate in to the domain (dom0) where the daemon is normally run. xxx

There is an issue in the current package version (4.16.2-1dmuk3) where the xenstore stubdom fails to start.

- Switch from init.d to systemd: xxx
