When splitting out various functionality from libxc into tools/libs/*
I attempted to make it possible to avoid callers being unnecessarily
exposed to the xentoollog interface by providing a typedef of the
xentoollog_logger handle in each of the headers.
However such typedefs are not allowed in C, instead it is necessary to
forward declare the struct and then use the struct xentoollog_logger
variant in the prototypes.
It appears that older gcc (e.g. 4.4) complains about this issue while
newer ones (e.g. 4.9) are more tolerant unless -pedantic-errors is
used, this was a deliberate change
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=ce3765bf44e49ef0568a1ad4a0b7f807591d6412
As well as tools/libs/* it is also now necessary to give libvchan the
same treatment, since it previously inhereted the typedef via one of
tools/libs/*.

In particular around error handling, behaviour on fork and the unmap
notification mechanism.
Behaviour of xengnttab_map_*grant_refs and xengntshr_share_pages on
partial failure has been confirmed/inferred (by inspection) on Linux
and Mini-os (the only two known implementations. Likewise the
behaviour of the notification mechanism has been confirmed/inferred
(by inspection) of the Linux implementation (currently the only
implementation) and libvchan (primary known user).
These updates are not folded into "tools: Refactor
/dev/xen/gnt{dev,shr} wrappers into libxengnttab." to try and reduce
the amount of non-movement changes in that patch.
While I'm not convinced by javadoc/doxygen cause the existing comments
which appear to use that syntax to have the appropriate /** marker.
Also fix a typo in a code comment.

These were wrong in the context of libxc before this code was
extracted, clean them up.
Also add some emacs magic blocks

libxengnttab will provide a stable API and ABI for accessing the
grant table devices.
The functions are moved into the xengnt{tab,shr} namespace to make a
clean break from libxc and avoid ambiguity regarding which interfaces
are stable.
All in-tree users are updated to use the new names.
Upon request (via #define XC_WANT_COMPAT_GNTTAB_API) libxenctrl will
provide a compat API for the old names. This is used by qemu-xen for
the time being. qemu-xen-traditional is updated in lockstep.
This leaves a few grant table related functions which go via privcmd
(GNTTABOP) rather than ioctls on the /dev/xen/gnt* devices in
libxenctrl. Specifically:
- xc_gnttab_get_version
- xc_gnttab_map_table_v1
- xc_gnttab_map_table_v2
- xc_gnttab_op
These functions do not appear to be needed by qemu-dm, qemu-pv
(provision of device model to HVM guests and PV backends respectively)
or by libvchan suggesting they are not needed by non-toolstack uses of
event channels.
The new library uses a version script to ensure that only expected
symbols are exported and to version them such that ABI guarantees can
be kept in the future.
After this change libxenvchan no longer needs to link against
libxenctrl. It still needs xenctrl.h in one file for xen_mb and
friends.
