Blktap2 is effectively dead code for a few years.
Notable changes in this patch:
0. Unhook blktap2 from build system
1. Now libxl no longer supports TAP disk backend, appropriate assertions
are added and some code paths now return ERROR_FAIL
2. Tap is no longer a supported backend in doc
3. Remove relevant entries in MAINTAINERS
A patch to actually remove blktap2 directory will come later.

This variable defaults to /var/lib/xen. It will be used to substitute
various hard-coded paths in tools.
The new variable points to $localstatedir/lib/xen, which defaults to
/var/lib/xen, so there is no change in default configuration.

The alternative backend (a xen-api/xapi shim) is no longer around and
so this stuff is now just baggage which is getting in the way of
refactoring libxenctrl.
Nested virt probably suffices for this use case now.
This was the last component of the osdep infrastructure, so all the
dynamic loading etc stuff all falls away too.
As part of this I was forced to investigate the twisty
xc_map_foreign_* maze, which I have added to the
toolstack-library-apis doc in the hopes of doing something sensible.
NetBSD and Solaris now call xc_map_foreign_bulk_compat directly from
their xc_map_foreign_bulk, which could have been achieved by using
some ifdefs around a renamed function. This will fall out in the wash
when these functions move to their own library.

Currently we hardcode various paths such as $libexec/xen/{bin,boot},
however some downstreams (notably Debian) would like instead to
install things into $libexec/xen-X.Y/{bin,boot} as part of allowing
multiple versions of the tools packages to be installed.
Since this currently involves patching configure its a bit fiddly,
provide a configure option for the leaf dir instead, name it
--with-libexec-leaf-dir similar to the existing
--with-sysconfig-leaf-dir.
Rather than have the determination of the full path in both configure
and config/Paths.mk.in move it into configure only. Also for
consistency move the other LIBEXEC_* to configure, even though they
are only substituted into Paths.mk.

In 16181cbb (tools: Honor Config.mk debug value, rather than setting our
own), configure doesn't set debug variable anymore. There is, however,
one place that was missed. The file config/Tools.mk.in was still
expecting a @debug@ value from configure. After 16181cbb that value
remained "debug := @debug@" all the time because configure didn't
substitute it.
The consequence was that we couldn't get a debug build even if debug was
set to "y" in Config.mk.
Fix this by removing the stray line "debug := @debug@" in Tools.mk.in.

xen-*-syms cannot actually be booted, so putting it in /boot is a bit
misleading. It also happens to cause a warning from update-grub (so at
least it doesn't end up in grub.cfg)
/usr/lib/debug seems to be a pretty common path for installing such
debug info.

binutils 2.22 changed ld default from --copy-dt-needed-entries
to -no-copy-dt-needed-entries. This revealed that some objects
are linked implicitly with libtinfo and newer ld fails to build
relevant executables.
Below is short explanation why we should not do that...
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UnderstandingDSOLinkChange says:
The default behaviour for ld (my note: before version 2.22) allows
users to 'indirectly' link to required objects/libraries through
intermediate objects/libraries. While this is convenient, it can
also be dangerous because it makes your program's dependencies tied
to the dependencies of other objects. If those objects ever change
their linkages, they can break your program without any changes
to your own code!

The current base directory /var/xen/dump for domU dumps will be patched
to /var/lib/xen/dump by most distros to follow FHS.
This change does three things:
- change the default from /var/xen/dump to /var/lib/xen/dump
- provide a configure option to avoid patching the source.
- update docs to refer to the new default location

Add a check, like the existing check for non-ANSI C in the public
headers, that runs the public headers through a C++ compiler to
flag non-C++-friendly constructs.
Unlike the ANSI C check, we accept GCC-isms (gnu++98), and we also
check various tools-only headers.
Also tidy up the runes for these checks to be a bit more readable.
io/ring.h uses 'private' as a field name, which is a keyword in C++;
this patch doesn't change that. Instead the check works around it.

Some systems have python-config include -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE in the
CFLAGS. But -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE does not (currently) work with -O0, and
-O0 is enabled in debug builds (since 1166ecf781). As a result, on
those systems, debug builds fail.
Work around this problem as follows:
* In configure, detect -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE in $(python-config --cflags)
* If detected, set the new autoconf substitution and make variable
PY_NOOPT_CFLAGS to -O1.
* In tools/Rules.mk, where we add -O0, also add PY_NOOPT_CFLAGS
(which will override the -O0 with -O1 if required).
Overriding the -O0 is better than disabling Fortify because the
latter might have an adverse security impact. A user who wants to
disable optimisation completely even for Python and also disable
Fortify can set the environment variable
EXTRA_CFLAGS_XEN_TOOLS='-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -O0'

This was disabled by default in Xen 4.4. Since xend has now been
removed from the tree I don't believe anything is using it.
We need to pass an explicit CONFIG_BLKTAP1=n to qemu-xen-traditional
otherwise it defaults to y and doesn't build.
This patch does all the ground work, the tools/blktap directory will
be removed in the next (*huge*) patch.
Note that this has no impact on blktap2, which is what libxl supports.
blktap1 was only usable via xend which has already been removed.

Set CONFIG_LEAF_DIR with configure to give control if needed. The
check for the correct value if the option is not specified is tricky.
Since other packages (such as grub2) started to populate also
/etc/default/ a given system may have both directories.
Use "default" only if /etc/sysconfig does not exist. "sysconfig"
remains the default.
Move the variable from StdGNU.mk to Linux.mk because thats the only
place where it is used.

This replaces config/Linux.modules with a configure option. As a result
of this change only a single xencomons.in is required, instead of a
xencomons.in.in and sed hackery.
After this change blktap2 and blktap will be loaded at the same time.
This is already done in out-of-tree xencommons scripts, and systemd will
load both modules as well. No harm is expected by loading both modules.
