The internal user of libxl__async_exec_start et al now gets an rc as
well as the process's exit status.
For now this is always either 0 or ERROR_FAIL, but with ao
abort requests this will possibly be ABORTED or TIMEDOUT too.

v4: Improve doc comment as suggested by Ian C.
v2: New patch due to rebause; v1 had changes to device_hotplug_*
scripts instead.
Callback now gets unambiguous information about error situation:
previously, if only thing that went wrong was that child died
badly, rc would be FAILED, which was unambigously; now rc=0.
Add a comment document the meaning of the rc and status parameters
to the callback.
Change the timeout setup functions to take a libxl__ao, not a
libxl__gc. This is going to be needed for ao abort, because timeouts
are going to be a main hook for ao abort requests - so the timeouts
need to be associated with an ao.
This means that timeouts can only occur as part of a long-running
libxl function (but this is of course correct, as libxl shouldn't have
any global timeouts, and indeed all the call sites have an ao).
Also remove the gc parameter from libxl__async_exec_start. It can
just use the gc from the ao supplied in the aes.
All the callers follow the obvious patterns and therefore supply the
ao's gc to libxl__async_exec_start and the timeout setup functions.
There is therefore no functional change in this patch.

v2: This patch split off from "Permit timeouts to signal cancellation".
Rebased; consequently, deal with libxl__async_exec_start.
CC'd authors of the libxl__async_exec_* functions.
* Add two comments in libxl_remus_disk_drbd documenting buggy handling
of the hotplug script exit status.
* Add a section heading for async exec in libxl_aoutils.c
* Mention the right function name (libxl__ev_child_fork, not
libxl__ev_fork) in libxl_internal.h

This patch adds the machinery required for protecting a guest's
disk state, when the guest disk uses a DRBD disk backend.
This patch comprises of two parts:
1. Hotplug scripts: The block-drbd-probe script is responsible for
performing sanity checks on the state of the DRBD disk before the
checkpointing process begins. This script should be invoked by
libxl for each of the guest's disk devices, when starting Remus.
2. Remus drbd disk device: Implements the interfaces required by the
remus abstract device layer. A note about the implementation:
a) setup() is called for each disk attached to the guest.
During setup():
i) The hotplug script is called to perform the sanity check.
ii) Libxl obtains a handle to the DRBD device (/dev/drbd*) and
and subsequently controls disk checkpoint replication using
this handle in the checkpoint callbacks.
c) The preresume() checkpoint callback is executed asynchronously
using libxl__ev_child_fork(), as it may potentially block for more
than few seconds in case of backup failure.
