x86/dom0: Avoid using 1G superpages if shadowing may be necessary

The shadow code doesn't support 1G superpages, and will hand #PF[RSVD] back to
guests.

For dom0's with 512GB of RAM or more (and subject to the P2M alignment), Xen's
domain builder might use 1G superpages.

Avoid using 1G superpages (falling back to 2M superpages instead) if there is
a reasonable chance that we may have to shadow dom0.  This assumes that there
are no circumstances where we will activate logdirty mode on dom0.
