libxl: Fix handling XenStore errors in device creation

If xenstored runs out of memory it is possible for it to fail operations
that should succeed.  libxl wasn't robust against this, and could fail
to ensure that the TTY path of a non-initial console was created and
read-only for guests.  This doesn't qualify for an XSA because guests
should not be able to run xenstored out of memory, but it still needs to
be fixed.

Add the missing error checks to ensure that all errors are properly
handled and that at no point can a guest make the TTY path of its
frontend directory writable.
