This patch implements the new protocol for handling pv consoles and
emulated serials as described in the document docs/misc/console.txt.
The changes are:
- xenconsoled: do not write the pty under serial in xenstore if
xenconsoled is handling a consolepath;
- xenconsole: implement support for an explicit console type parameter;
the parameter can be "pv", to specify that the user wants to
connect to a pv console, or "serial", to specify that the user wants to
connect to an emulated serial. If the type parameter hasn't been
specified be the user, xenconsole tries to guess which type of console
it has to connect to, defaulting to pv console for pv guests and
emulated serial for hvm guests.
- xenconsole: use the new xenstore paths;
- libxl: rename libxl_console_constype to libxl_console_consback:
constype is used to to specify whether qemu or xenconsoled provides the
backend, so I renamed it to libxl_console_consback to make it more
obvious that we are talking about backends;
- libxl: add a new libxl_console_constype to specify if the console is
an emulated serial or a pv console;
- libxl: support the new xenconsole "type" command line parameter;
- libxl: use the "output" node under console in xenstore to tell qemu
where do we want the output of this pv console to go;
- remove the legacy "serialpath" from xenconsoled altogether

Also: update the QEMU_TAG to pull in the qemu part of these changes.

This patch eliminate the global variables in libxenctrl (used for
logging and error reporting).
Instead the information which was in the global variables is now in a
new xc_interface* opaque structure, which xc_interface open returns
instead of the raw file descriptor; furthermore, logging is done via
xentoollog.
There are three new parameters to xc_interface_open to control the
logging, but existing callers can just pass "0" for all three to get
the old behaviour.
All libxc callers have been adjusted accordingly.
Also update QEMU_TAG for corresponding qemu change.

Currently qemu has a bug: When maxvcpus > 64, qemu will get wrong
vcpu bitmap (s->cpus_sts[i]) since it only get bitmap from a long
variable.
This patch, cooperate with another qemu patch, is to fix this bug.
This patch transfer a vcpu_avail string in a hex string format, so
that at qemu side it's more easier to get vcpu bitmap from hex string,
especially when many vcpus, like more than 64.
(Also update QEMU_TAG for matching qemu-side update)

This provides a replacement config file parser for "xl" based on bison
and flex.
Benefits:
* proper error reporting with line numbers
* parser can understand nearly all "xm" configuration files directly
(doesn't understand Python code but should do everything else)
* parser also understands the ;-infested "xl" style files
* removes the dependency on libconfig
* better checking for certain kinds of mistakes
* eliminates the strange "massage file and try again" code
This is intended to support all config files currently supported by
"xl" and almost all files supported by "xm". (NB that whether a
feature works depends on the implementation of that feature in
xl/libxl of course.)
This patch also introduces a new library "libxlutil" which is mainly
for the benefit of "xl". Users of libxl do not need to use libxlutil,
but they can do so if they want to parse "xl" files without being
"xl".

Reduce size of Xen-qemu shared ioreq structure to 32 bytes. This
has two advantages:
1. We can support up to 128 VCPUs with a single shared page
2. If/when we want to go beyond 128 VCPUs, a whole number of ioreq_t
structures will pack into a single shared page, so a multi-page
array will have no ioreq_t straddling a page boundary
Also, while modifying qemu, replace a 32-entry vcpu-indexed array
with a dynamically-allocated array.

This patch adds securty checks for pci passthrough related hypercalls
to enforce that the current domain owns the resources that it is about
to remap. It also adds a call to xc_assign_device to xend and removes
the PRIVILEGED_STUBDOMS flags.
