Xen is a trademark of the Cloud Software Group; we're not packaging
Xen(Server), we're packaging the Xen Project Hypervisor, which is open
source and owned by the Linux Foundation.
This is based on advice from Kelly Choi, the Xen Project Community
Manager, who has assisted us in the branding aspects of pacakaging.

In preparation for the deprecation of `stdenv.isX`.
These shorthands are not conducive to cross-compilation because they
hide the platforms.
Darwin might get cross-compilation for which the continued usage of `stdenv.isDarwin` will get in the way
One example of why this is bad and especially affects compiler packages
https://www.github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/343059
There are too many files to go through manually but a treewide should
get users thinking when they see a `hostPlatform.isX` in a place where it
doesn't make sense.

It has been decided in #343111 that we should not build MiniOS
stubdomains, and instead use Linux-based ones for now.
Once MirageOS or Unikraft is packaged, we can switch to using those
microkernels as stubdomains.

- Drop `-ie` flags for grep;
- Add more `doing things...done` echo stanzas so it's clearer when a
part of the script has concluded;
- Add a note explaining why QEMU and OVMF take so long to fetch;
- Add a TODO for future work at the top of the file.

xenproject.org is the Xen Project's official domain. xen.org is
deprecated and we should avoid referring to Xen as just "xen" whenever
possible, due to a messy legal history with Citrix.

Also makes it slightly more readable by adding line breaks between
attributes and reordering the knownVulnerabilities attribute to be
closer to the maintainers attribute, as they have similar checks.
