Subject: [PATCH 06/12] libxl: Do not trust frontend for disk in getinfo

* Rename the frontend variable to `fe_path' to check we caught them all
* Read the backend path from /libxl, rather than from the frontend
* Parse the backend domid from the backend path, rather than reading it
  from the frontend (and add the appropriate error path and initialisation)

This is part of XSA-175.
