docs: clean-up the xenpvh documentation
I noticed the code blocks where not rendering properly so thought I'd better fix things up. So: - Use better title for the machine type - Explain why Xen is a little different - Add a proper anchor to the tpm-device link - add newline so code block properly renders - add some indentation to make continuation clearer Signed-off-by: Alex Bennée <alex.bennee@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Message-ID: <20231207130623.360473-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org>
