libxl: Remove libxl_tmem_destroy and associated xl command

Dan Magenheimer explains in <4c2f7fca-dda2-4598-aaab-3a6a3fe532cd@default>:

        I think the tmem_destroy functionality pre-dates the
        existence of tmem "freeable" memory* and was a way for
        a toolset to force the hypervisor to free up the hypervisor
        memory used by some or all ephemeral tmem pools.  Once the
        tmem allocation/free process was directly linked into
        alloc_heap_pages() in the hypervisor (see call to
        tmem_relinquish_pages()), this forcing function was
        no longer needed.

        So, bottom line, I *think* it can be ripped out, or at least
        for now removed from the definition of the stable xl API/UI.
        The libxl.c routine libxl_tmem_destroy() could also be
        removed if you like, but I guess I'd prefer to leave the
        lower level droppings in xc.c and in the hypervisor in case
        I am misremembering.

Accordingly remove this interface from libxl and xl but don't touch libxc or
the hypervisor.

This is the only libxl_tmem_* function which might potentially have required
conversion to be asynchronous and which therefore might have been a potential
API stability concern.
