Xenstored is absolutely mandatory for a Xen host and it can't be
restarted, so being killed by OOM-killer in case of memory shortage is
to be avoided.
Set /proc/$pid/oom_score_adj (if available) per default to -500 (this
translates to 50% of dom0 memory size) in order to allow xenstored to
use large amounts of memory without being killed.
The percentage of dom0 memory above which the oom killer is allowed to
kill xenstored can be set via XENSTORED_OOM_MEM_THRESHOLD in
xencommons.
Make sure the pid file isn't a left-over from a previous run delete it
before starting xenstored.

The sysconfig variable XENSTORED_ROOTDIR is not used anymore.
It used to point to a directory with tdb files, which is now a tmpfs.
In case the database is not in tmpfs, like on sysv and BSD systems,
xenstored will truncate existing database files during start.

As xenstored now is always starting with an empty tdb data base there
is no need any longer to remove the file before starting xenstored.

Add configuration entries to sysconfig.xencommons for selection of the
xenstore type (domain or daemon) and start the selected xenstore
service via a script called from sysvinit or systemd.

Instead of trying to read xenstore via xenstore-read use the pidfile
of xenstored for the test whether xenstored is running. This prepares
support of xenstore domain, as trying to read xenstore will block
for ever in case xenstore domain is started after trying to read.

In order to prepare starting a xenstore domain split out the starting
of the xenstore daemon from the xencommons script into a dedicated
launch-xenstore script.
A rerun of autogen.sh is required.
