xenstore: new XS_OPEN_SOCKETONLY flag; honour "-s" on tools' cmdline
The "-s" option to xenstore-ls is used by the xencommons startup script to check whether xenstored is already running, before starting it. Since 22498:a40455ae9ad3, "-s" has been a no-op, and libxenstore will always fall back to using xenbus. The combined effect is that the xencommons script deadlocks: xenstore-ls hangs waiting for xenstored, which isn't started by xencommons because xencommons is waiting for xenstore-ls. In this patch, we: * Introduce a new XS_OPEN_SOCKETONLY flag which disables the fallback behaviour; * Make the xenstore command line tools use the new xs_open call rather than the old, deprecated xs_open_* calls (which are now identical). * Plumb the xenstore command line tools "-s" option to set the XS_OPEN_SOCKETONLY flag. * Change the type of the XS_OPEN_* flags so that they naturally have type unsigned long. The "-s" option to xenstore-ls et al, and the XS_OPEN_SOCKETONLY flag, are intended for use by toolstack infrastructure and should not normally be used by higher-level code.
