Hi folks

The current package in unstable is able to use xl. It is still a bit
edgy but seems to work. Because the old xm with xend and xl clashs and
one should only use one, this needs some more setup to provide a proper
upgrade path.

I propose the following:
- Add a script "xen" that wraps xl and xm depending on the config for
  use by all the scripts. Most parts are command line compatible.
- Add a selector to /etc/default/xend:
  IMPLEMENTATION=xm/xl
- Make xm/xl error out if the other implementation is selected and
  supported/available.
- Start xend only is xm is used.
