This patches does following things:
1. Properly define a XLU_ConfigList type. Originally it was defined to
be XLU_ConfigSetting.
2. Define XLU_ConfigValue type, which can be either a string or a list
of XLU_ConfigValue.
3. ConfigSetting now references XLU_ConfigValue. Originally it only
worked with **string.
4. Properly construct list where necessary, see changes to .y file.
To achieve above changes:
1. xlu__cfg_set_mk and xlu__cfg_set_add are deleted, because they
are no more needed in the new code.
2. Introduce xlu__cfg_string_mk to make a XLU_ConfigSetting that points
to a XLU_ConfigValue that wraps a string.
3. Introduce xlu__cfg_list_mk to make a XLU_ConfigSetting that points
to XLU_ConfigValue that is a list.
4. The parser now generates XLU_ConfigValue instead of XLU_ConfigSetting
when construct values, which enables us to recursively generate list
of lists.
5. XLU_ConfigSetting is generated in xlu__cfg_set_store.
6. Adapt other functions to use new types.
No change to public API. Xl compiles without problem and 'xl create -n
guest.cfg' is valgrind clean.
This patch is needed because we're going to implement nested list
support, which requires support for list of list.

- Use %lex-param instead of obsolete YYLEX_PARAM to override lex scanner
parameter
- Change deprecated %name-prefix= to %name-prefix
Tested against bison 2.4.1 and 3.0.2.
This is expected to sometimes (depending on timestamps and whether the
bison input files are edited) break building on systems with ancient
versions of bison. Bison 2.4.1 is known to work and was released in
December 2008.
Also, consquentially, regenerate bison output files with bison
1:2.5.dfsg-2.1 from Debian wheezy.

If libxlu_cfg_y.y encountered a config file error, the code generated
by bison would sometimes _both_ run the %destructor _and_ call
xlu__cfg_set_store for the same XLU_ConfigSetting* semantic value.
The result would be a double free.
This appears to be because of the use of a mid-rule action. There is
some discussion of the problems with destructors and mid-rule action
error handling in "(bison)Mid-Rule Actions". This area is complex and
best avoided.
So fix the bug by abolishing the use of a mid-rule action, which was
in any case not necessary here.
Also while we are there rename the nonterminal rule "setting" to
"assignment", to avoid confusion with the token type "setting", which
had an identically name in a different namespace. This was especially
confusing because the nonterminal "setting" did not have "setting" as
the type of its semantic value! (In fact the nonterminal, now called
"assignment", does not have a value so it does not have a value type.)

This provides a replacement config file parser for "xl" based on bison
and flex.
Benefits:
* proper error reporting with line numbers
* parser can understand nearly all "xm" configuration files directly
(doesn't understand Python code but should do everything else)
* parser also understands the ;-infested "xl" style files
* removes the dependency on libconfig
* better checking for certain kinds of mistakes
* eliminates the strange "massage file and try again" code
This is intended to support all config files currently supported by
"xl" and almost all files supported by "xm". (NB that whether a
feature works depends on the implementation of that feature in
xl/libxl of course.)
This patch also introduces a new library "libxlutil" which is mainly
for the benefit of "xl". Users of libxl do not need to use libxlutil,
but they can do so if they want to parse "xl" files without being
"xl".
