This patch series implements several bug-fixes and implements "the memory
allocation policy" of libxl. All touched functions have been tested with
valgrind and are free of leaks, double-free and free-non-malloce'd pointer
errors. This patch-set prepares for another patch to actually implement
per-function-call lifetime for libxl garbage collection which is coming
RealSoonNow(tm) - but touches almost every code path so requires more
verification. This is all a step towards allowing demons to use libxl.
