Otherwise the name clashes with the libxc evtchn_compat use of the
name (which is compat, so can't really change), and triggers an error
with older gcc relating to redefining typedefs (which are not allowed
per the spec, but which are tolerated by newer gcc)
None of qemu-trad, qemu-xen or mini-os actually use this type, so this
should be fine. Note that the library API is not actually stable until
4.7 is releases.

In some cases this replaces an FD_CLOEXEC dance, in others it is new.
Linux has had O_CLOEXEC since 2.6.23 (October 2007), so we can rely on
it from Xen 4.7 I think. Some libc headers may still lack the
definition, so we take care of that if need be by defining to 0 (on
the premise that such an old glibc might barf on O_CLOEXEC even if the
kernel may or may not be so old).
All stable versions of FreeBSD support O_CLOEXEC (10.2, 9.3 and 8.4),
and we assume the libc there does too.
Remove various comments about having to take responsibility for this
(since really it is just hygiene, politeness, not a requirement) and
the reasons for using O_CLOEXEC seem pretty straightforward.
Backends for other OSes are untouched.

libxenevtchn will provide a stable API and ABI for accessing the
evtchn device.
The functions are moved into the xenevtchn namespace to make a clean
break from libxc and avoid ambiguity regarding which interfaces are
stable.
All in-tree users are updated to use the new names.
Upon request (via #define XC_WANT_COMPAT_EVTCHN_API) libxenctrl will
provide a compat API for the old names. This is used by qemu-xen for
the time being. qemu-xen-traditional is updated in lockstep.
This leaves a few event channel related functions which go via privcmd
(EVTCHNOP) rather than ioctls on the /dev/xen/evtchn device in
libxenctrl. Specifically:
- xc_evtchn_alloc_unbound
- xc_evtchn_reset
- xc_evtchn_status
Note that xc_evtchn_alloc_unbound's functionality is also provided by
xenevtchn_bind_unbound_port() (née xc_evtchn_bind_unbound_port) and is
probably redundant.
These functions do not appear to be needed by qemu-dm, qemu-pv
(provision of device model to HVM guests and PV backends respectively)
or by libvchan suggesting they are not needed by non-toolstack uses of
event channels. QEMU does use these in hw/xenpv/xen_domainbuild.c but
that is a "toolstack use".
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.
