Sure, if none of the distros have it, then lcitool won't emit the
dockerfile changes until we update the inherited distro version.
So it is sufficient to just update libvirt-ci.git with the mappings.yml
info for libxdp, and add 'libxdp' to the tests/lcitool/projects/qemu.yml
file in qemu.git. It will then 'just work' when someone updates the
distro versions later.

With regards,
Daniel
