Subject: [PATCH 01/12] libxl: Record backend/frontend paths in /libxl/$DOMID

This gives us a record of all the backends we have set up for a
domain, which is separate from the frontends in
  /local/domain/$DOMID/device.

In particular:

1. A guest has write permission for the frontend path:
  /local/domain/$DOMID/device/$KIND/$DEVID
which means that the guest can completely delete the frontend.
(They can't recreate it because they don't have write permission
on the containing directory.)

2. A guest has write permission for the backend path recorded in the
frontend, ie, it can write to
  /local/domain/$DOMID/device/$KIND/$DEVID/backend
which means that the guest can break the association between
frontend and backend.

So we can't rely on iterating over the frontends to find all the
backends, or examining a frontend to discover how a device is
configured.

So, have libxl__device_generic_add record the frontend and backend
paths in /libxl/$DOMID/device, and have libxl__device_destroy remove
them again.

Create the containing directory /libxl/GUEST/device in
libxl__domain_make.  The already existing xs_rm in devices_destroy_cb
will take care of removing it.

This is part of XSA-175.
