libxl: add NIC QoS parameters

The parameters are:
  qos_kib_per_sec:    maximum rate in KiB/sec
  qos_timeslice_usec: time period over which the average rate is enforced in
                      usec

One can now execute commands like
  xl network-attach ... rate=1024,50000
which should impose an average limit of 1MiB/sec, over intervals of 50ms

The "rate" key in the network backend is interpreted by netback. It wants:
  bytes_per_interval, interval_length
