Subject: [PATCH 13/21] libxl: Have READ_LIBXLDEV use libxl_path rather than
 be_path

Fix the just-introduced bug in this macro: now it reads the
trustworthy libxl_path.  Change the variable name in the two functions
(nic and channel) which use it.

Shuffling the bump in the carpet along, we now introduce three new
bugs: the three call sites pass a backend path where a frontend path
is expected.

No functional change.

This is part of XSA-178.
