drop libxml2 checks since libxml is not actually used (for parallels)

For a long time, we assumed that libxml2 is necessary for parallels
block format support (block/parallels*). However, this format actually
does not use libxml [*]. Since this is the only user of libxml2 in
whole QEMU tree, we can drop all libxml2 checks and dependencies too.

It is even more: --enable-parallels configure option was the only
option which was silently ignored when it's (fake) dependency
(libxml2) isn't installed.

Drop all mentions of libxml2.

[*] Actually the basis for libxml use were introduced in commit
    ed279a06c5 ("configure: add dependency") but the implementation
    was never merged:
