In order to better reflect the contents of the header and to make it
more appropriate to use it for different runtime environments like
programs, libraries, and firmware, rename the libs.h include file to
common-macros.h. Additionally add a comment pointing out the need to be
self-contained.

Today there are multiple copies of the ROUNDUP() macro in various
sources and headers. Define it once in tools/include/xen-tools/libs.h.
Using xen-tools/libs.h enables removing copies of MIN() and MAX(), too.

xencall_alloc_buffer() is used throughout Xen tools for allocating
hypercall buffers. Allocation is done at page granularity. For simple
administration each allocated set of pages contains a small header
holding the number of pages of that set. The hypercall buffer is
located directly after the 4 byte sized header, leading to a wrong
alignment for e.g. pointers.
Repair that by using a 16 byte sized header enforcing the same
alignment as malloc().

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

libxencall will provide a stable API and ABI for calling hypercalls
(although those hypercalls themselves may not have a stable API). As
well as the hypercall buffer infrastructure needed in order to safely
provide pointer arguments to hypercalls.
libxenctrl encapsulates a instance of this interface, so users of that
library are not currently subjected to any actual changes. However all
hypercalls made internally by libxc now use the correct interface. It
is expected that most users of this library will be other libraries
providing a higher level interface, rather than applications directly.
Only the basic functionality to allocate hypercall safe memory is
moved, the type safe stuff and bounce buffers remain in libxc.
Note that the functionality to map foreign pages using privcmd is not
yet moved, meaning that an xc_interface will now contain two open
privcmd file descriptors. Foreign memory mapping is logically separate
functionality and will be moved into its own library.
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.
