xen: use percpu interrupts for IPIs and VIRQs

IPIs and VIRQs are inherently per-cpu event types, so treat them as such:
 - use a specific percpu irq_chip implementation, and
 - handle them with handle_percpu_irq

This makes the path for delivering these interrupts more efficient
(no masking/unmasking, no locks), and it avoid problems with attempts
to migrate them.
