Normalize config options for guest support
1) Group all the "guest OS" support options together, under a PARAVIRT_GUEST
menu.
2) Make those options select CONFIG_PARAVIRT, as suggested by Andi.
3) Make kconfig help titles consistent.

- Paravirtualization is a way of running multiple instances of

VMI provides a paravirtualized interface to the VMware ESX server
(it could be used by other hypervisors in theory too, but is not
at the moment), by linking the kernel to a GPL-ed ROM module
provided by the hypervisor.
