The reasoning behind this patch is that ctrl->event_port is a uint32_t
(ie. unsigned), so the current checks on it for negative error results,
non-negative port presence etc. are incorrect.
Fix by using evtchn_port_or_error_t in the init functions instead,
adjusting the error handling, and removing the now-unnecessary check
from the close function.

-O2 -Wall -Werror triggers these warnings:
io.c: In function 'do_send':
io.c:196: warning: ignoring return value of 'writev', declared with attribute warn_unused_result
io.c: In function 'do_recv':
io.c:287: warning: ignoring return value of 'writev', declared with attribute warn_unused_result
writev to -1 will always fail, silence the warning by removing the offending
(disabled) debug code.

This library implements a bidirectional communication interface between
applications in different domains, similar to unix sockets. Data can be
sent using the byte-oriented libvchan_read/libvchan_write or the
packet-oriented libvchan_recv/libvchan_send.
Channel setup is done using a client-server model; domain IDs and a port
number must be negotiated prior to initialization. The server allocates
memory for the shared pages and determines the sizes of the
communication rings (which may span multiple pages, although the default
places rings and control within a single page).
With properly sized rings, testing has shown that this interface
provides speed comparable to pipes within a single Linux domain; it is
significantly faster than network-based communication.
