Extend the livepatch list operation to fetch also payloads' metadata. This is achieved by extending the sysctl list interface with 2 extra guest handles: * metadata - an array of arbitrary size strings * metadata_len - an array of metadata strings' lengths (uin32_t each) Payloads' metadata is a string of arbitrary size and does not have an upper bound limit. It may also vary in size between payloads. In order to let the userland allocate enough space for the incoming data add a metadata total size field to the list sysctl operation and fill it with total size of all payloads' metadata. Extend the libxc to handle the metadata back-to-back data transfers as well as metadata length array data transfers. The xen-livepatch userland tool is extended to always display the metadata for each received module. The metadata is received with the following format: key=value\0key=value\0...key=value\0. The format is modified to the following one: key=value;key=value;...key=value. The new format allows to easily parse the metadata for a given module by a machine.
