Ian Jackson eee7480fdf libxl: idl: support new "private" type attribute
This provides for fields in libxl datatypes which are only present in
the C version of structures and are used only by libxl itself.  This
is useful when a libxl datatype wants to contain fields which are used
by libxl internally and which are only present in the structure to
avoid additional memory allocation inconvenience.

Ian Campbell 33ca1047cb libxl: add a flags argument to libxl_ctx_alloc.
Currently unused but gives us scope for expansion in an ABI compatible manner
in the future.

Ian Campbell 9dcc52ddb6 libxl: idl: use "dispose" rather than "destroy" for function to free IDL types
Destroy is an overloaded term which would commonly like to be used for actual
destructive operations, such as destroying a domain etc.

Dispose isn't a great term but it does the job.

Ian Campbell 93e240f096 libxl: IDL: autogenerate functions to produce JSON from libxl data structures.
Two functions are provided. TYPE_gen_json exposes an interface which is
compatible with the YAGL generator infrastructure. TYPE_to_string uses this to
produce a pretty printed string.

The TYPE_gen_json functions are defined in a new header libxl_json.h which is
not exposed via libxl.h due to the use of YAGL datatypes to avoid poluting the
namespace us libxl users which don't use the library themselves.  If a libxl
user is interested in integrating at the YAGL level then it should #include
this file itself.

Also update testidl to generate a random version of each IDL datastructure and
convert it to JSON. Unfortunately this requires a libxl_ctx and therefore the
test must be run on a Xen system now.

Ian Campbell a53cb5b82d libxl: autogenerate to_string and from_string functions for Enumerations.
The generated strings are the lower case enum value names, with underscores.
Accepted string for parsing are the same but are case insensitive.

We provide a table of strings->value for each Enumeration as well as a
convenience function to perform a lookup.
