Subject: [PATCH 04/10] tools/xenstore: simplify and rename check_event_node()

There is no path which allows to call check_event_node() without a
event name. So don't let the result depend on the name being NULL and
add an assert() covering that case.

Rename the function to check_special_event() to better match the
semantics.

This is part of XSA-115.
