[PATCH v3 1/7] libxl: get rid of the SEDF scheduler

[Dario Faggioli <dario.faggioli@citrix.com>]

only the interface is left in place, for backward
compile-time compatibility, but every attempt to
use it would throw an error.

Cc: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@citrix.com>

Chenges from v2:
 - introduce and use ERROR_FEATURE_REMOVED, as requested
   during review;
 - mark the SEDF only parameter as deprecated in libxl_types.idl,
   as requested during review.
