Subject: [PATCH 03/12] libxl: Do not trust frontend in libxl__devices_destroy

We need to enumerate the devices we have provided to a domain, without
trusting the guest-writeable (or, at least, guest-deletable) frontend
paths.

Instead, enumerate via, and read the backend path from, /libxl.

The console /libxl path is regular, so the special case for console 0
is not relevant any more: /libxl/GUEST/device/console/0 will be found,
and then libxl__device_destroy will DTRT to the right frontend path.

This is part of XSA-175.
