hw/i386/pc: xen: reinstate the "xenfv" machine alias

Commit 7d2778dea32a4924a469f1cc5767042c8f5b4eea ("hw/i386/pc: Remove deprecated pc-q35/pc-i440fx/xenfv 3.1 machines") removed the Xen machine type that was providing the "xenfv" alias. As a consequence, since the tools are apparently relying on such alias, we're getting this, as soon as one tries to start a Xen (HVM) VM: qemu-system-i386: unsupported machine type: "xenfv" Use -machine help to list supported machines Reinstate the alias and let it point to the only Xen machine we still have.
