We currently use the very long version __attribute__((__aligned(4096)))
to align page-tables. Thankfully there is a shorter version to make
the code more readable.

While modifying the attribute:
    1) Move it before the variable name as we do in other part of Xen
    2) Switch to PAGE_SIZE instead of 4096 to make more future-proof
    3) Mark static page-tables not used outside the file (i.e any
       page-tables other than boot_* and xen_fixmap).

Lastly, some of the variables use __attribute__(__aligned(X * 4096)).
However this is not necessary as page-tables are only required to be
to be aligned to a page-size. So use __aligned(PAGE_SIZE).

IMO it is better to change `version` to `macro`. In order to specify it is not a compiler specific but specific to XEN.

I will reword to "Thankfully Xen provides an handy macro that will make the code 
more readable".
