We are currently on OCaml 4.02 as minimum version. To make the followup
optimizations compile backport these functions from OCaml 4.06.
This implementation is less efficient than the one in the 4.06 standard
library which has access to the internals of the Map.

See docs/misc/xenstore.txt for documentation on live-update command. Validate
that the binary exists and that the cmdline is valid, to prevent typos from
taking down xenstore; if live-update fails there is no way back due to the use
of exec().
Live update only proceeds if there are no active transactions, and no
unprocessed input or unflushed output.

The rationalisation of the Xs_ring interface in the xb library
allows to further reduce the unsafe calls withouth introducing
copies. This patch also contains some further code cleanups.

When xenstore was ported to the new safe-string interface, it mostly
happened by making copyies of string into bytes and back. The ideal
fix would be to rewrite all of the relevant interfaces to be uniformly
using bytes, but in the meanwhile we can improve the code by using unsafe
conversion functions (see
https://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/libref/Bytes.html#3_Unsafeconversionsforadvancedusers).
In most cases we own the bytes that we are converting to string, or we
immediately make copies that we then mutate, or we use them immutably
as payloads for writes. In all these cases it is safe to use the unsafe
functions and prevent a copy.
This patch updates the code to use the unsafe conversions where possible.

Xen built with ocaml 4.06 gives errors such as
Error: This expression has type bytes but an expression was
expected of type string
as Byte and safe-strings which were introduced in 4.02 are the
default in 4.06.
