libxl: child processes cleanups
Abolish libxl_fork. Its only callers were in xl. Its functionality
is now moved elsewhere, as follows:
* The "logging version of fork", which is what it was billed as, is now
xl_fork, which also dies on failure.
* Closing the xenstore handle in the child is now done in
libxl__ev_child_fork, which is the only remaining place where fork
is called in libxl.
* We provide a new function libxl__ev_child_xenstore_reopen for
in-libxl children to make the ctx useable for xenstore again.
* Consequently libxl__spawn_record_pid now no longer needs to mess
about with its own xenstore handle. As a bonus it can now just use
libxl__xs_write.
Also, since we have now converted all the forkers in libxl, we can
always honour the fork_replacement childproc hook - so do so.
