libxl: wait for qemu to acknowledge logdirty command
The current migration code in libxl instructs qemu to start or stop
logdirty, but it does not wait for an acknowledgement from qemu before
continuing. This might lead to memory corruption (!)
Fix this by waiting for qemu to acknowledge the command.
Unfortunately the necessary ao arrangements for waiting for this
command are unique because qemu has a special protocol for this
particular operation.
Also, this change means that the switch_qemu_logdirty callback
implementation in libxl can no longer synchronously produce its return
value, as it now needs to wait for xenstore. So we tell the
marshalling code generator that it is a message which does not need a
reply. This turns the callback function called by the marshaller into
one which returns void; the callback function arranges to later
explicitly sends the reply to the helper, when the xs watch triggers
and the appropriate value is read from xenstore.
