Subject: [PATCH 10/12] libxl: Do not trust frontend for nic in getinfo
libxl_device_nic_getinfo needs to examine devices without trusting
frontend-controlled data. So:
* Use /libxl to find the backend path.
* Parse the backend path to find the backend domid, rather than
reading it from the frontend.
This is part of XSA-175.
