Subject: [PATCH 10/12] libxl: Do not trust frontend for nic in getinfo

libxl_device_nic_getinfo needs to examine devices without trusting
frontend-controlled data.  So:

* Use /libxl to find the backend path.
* Parse the backend path to find the backend domid, rather than
  reading it from the frontend.

This is part of XSA-175.
