Some hypercalls, memory-op in particular, can return values requiring
more than 31 bits to represent. Hence the underlying layers need to make
sure they won't truncate such values.

Instead of using anonymous memory for hypercall buffers which is then
locked into memory, use the hypercall buffer device of the Linux
privcmd driver if available.
This has the advantage of needing just a single mmap() for allocating
the buffer and page migration or compaction can't make the buffer
unaccessible for the hypervisor.

Closing the fd before unhooking it from the list runs the risk that a
concurrent thread calls xentoolcore_restrict_all will operate on the
old fd value, which might refer to a new fd by then. So we need to do
it in the other order.
Sadly this weakens the guarantee provided by xentoolcore_restrict_all
slightly, but not (I think) in a problematic way. It would be
possible to implement the previous guarantee, but it would involve
replacing all of the close() calls in all of the individual osdep
parts of all of the individual libraries with calls to a new function
which does
dup2("/dev/null", thing->fd);
pthread_mutex_lock(&handles_lock);
thing->fd = -1;
pthread_mutex_unlock(&handles_lock);
close(fd);
which would be terribly tedious.

This necessitates adding $(CFLAGS_xeninclude) to all the depending

These were wrong in the context of libxc before this code was
extracted, clean them up.

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.
