Subject: [PATCH] main loop: Big hammer to fix logfile disk DoS in Xen setups

Each time round the main loop, we now fstat stderr.  If it is too big,
we dup2 /dev/null onto it.  This is not a very pretty patch but it is
very simple, easy to see that it's correct, and has a low risk of
collateral damage.

The limit is 1Mby by default but can be adjusted by setting a new
environment variable.

This fixes CVE-2014-3672.

v2: Make it actually compile.  Fix a typo in the message.
    Move the check_cve_2014_3672_xen up in the file, so that we can:
    Call check_cve_2014_3672_xen in the other copy of the main loop (!)
