Bump SRCREV version of xen recipes to use the latest 4.14 release (4.14.1) and the current status of master. This allows to remove some patches related to gcc 10 support which have now been merged in Xen. Xen-tools is modified to include the latest tools installed with Xen: - a rename of the bash-completion, - a new xl example, - xen-access, - xen-memshare (only available on x86). A new patch to fix python and pygrub is added as the makefiles have been deeply modified in 4.15 which require a new patch (but doing the same).

Xen
For any issues with the Xen recipes please make sure you CC: christopher.w.clark@gmail.com cardoe@gentoo.org
configuring the hypervisor
Since 4.7.0 Xen supports using Kconfig to configure the hypervisor. Similarly to how the recipe for busybox works, you can provide a .config as a defconfig to override the default configuration of the hypervisor. The easiest way for you to take advantage of this is to create a .config for Xen and then copy it to your Yocto layer as 'defconfig' inside of 'recipes-extended/xen/files/' and then create a bbappend adding 'file://defconfig' to your SRC_URI.
To generate your own .config file for Xen, you can use the interactive menuconfig via bitbake:
bitbake xen -c menuconfig
Select the config settings that you want and Save the file. If you save it to the default ".config" file when prompted by menuconfig, you can find it in the 'xen' subdirectory of the build tree.
Configuration fragments are also supported. To use them you need to list the .cfg files in the SRC_URI.
security patches
The base recipe does not include security fixes that the Xen community releases as XSAs (http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/). The easiest way to include those is to drop patches in 'recipes-extened/xen/files' and create a bbappend adding those patches to SRC_URI and they will be applied. Alternatively, you can override the SRC_URI to a git repo you provide that contains the patches.
