Title: Install runtime headers for mirage-xen.

Now that Mirage contains only a very minimal libc, I'd like to suggest we install the headers for those libc functions and the OCaml runtime somewhere where C stubs can find it.

C code is going to be linked against the functions regardless---given that, it seems prudent to allow them to have access to their headers as well. Otherwise, libraries will need to include their own libc definitions which may be incompatible or clash with those defined by the Mirage runtime.

This patch installs runtime headers into $(OPAM_PREFIX)/include/mirage-xen, alongside the minios headers. With this change, I've successfully built an add-on module to mirage that exposes additional hypercalls via OCaml.
