Xen Makefile downloads and builds some unsigned code, that we don't even use in Qubes (qemu, etc). Those files are downloaded over plaintext connection, so subject to easy subversion by an attacker in the middle. Such an attack might result in a compromised package or developers machine.

It's silly to have a signed xen package, that uses unsigned packages...

We should really get rid of all the wgets in the Xen Makefile, not just hoping that if we provide pre-downloaded and verified tgzs then those wgets wouldn't download anything.

Added patch to remove wget invokes (only left in some tests, which isn't run during building).
Also added some more files to download (but looks as unused in our configuration).
