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
Linux on the same machine, under a hypervisor. This option
changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run
under a hypervisor, improving performance significantly.
However, when run without a hypervisor the kernel is
theoretically slower. If in doubt, say N.
This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run
under a hypervisor, potentially improving performance significantly
over full virtualization. However, when run without a hypervisor
the kernel is theoretically slower and slightly larger.

Say Y here to get to see options related to running Linux under
various hypervisors. This option alone does not add any kernel code.
If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled.

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.

Lguest is a tiny in-kernel hypervisor. Selecting this will
allow your kernel to boot under lguest. This option will increase
your kernel size by about 6k. If in doubt, say N.
