Doing a 'xl migrate --debug domU host' on xen-4.5 adds a
XC_SAVE_ID_ENABLE_VERIFY_MODE marker, which is not handled.
Since using --debug is valid usage, handle it by logging the fact
instead of aborting the migration.

Hmm - I had never considered someone doing that.  Debug mode for legacy
migration was sufficiently broken (in a falling over wild pointers kind
of way) that I assumed noone ever used it.

But yes - not needlessly killing the migration is an improvement.

Ian: This is also a backport candidate for 4.6
