xen: add a mechanism to automatically create XenDevice-s...

...that maintains compatibility with existing Xen toolstacks.

Xen toolstacks instantiate PV backends by simply writing information into
xenstore and expecting a backend implementation to be watching for this.

This patch adds a new 'xen-backend' module to allow individual XenDevice
implementations to register create and destroy functions. The creator
will be called when a tool-stack instantiates a new backend in this way,
and the destructor will then be called after the resulting XenDevice
object is unrealized.

To support this it is also necessary to add new watchers into the XenBus
implementation to handle enumeration of new backends and also destruction
of XenDevice-s when the toolstack sets the backend 'online' key to 0.

NOTE: This patch only adds the framework. A subsequent patch will add a
      creator function for xen-block devices.
