Add new xs_reset function to shutdown watches from old kernel after
kexec boot. The old kernel does not unregister all watches in the
shutdown path. They are still active, the double registration can not
be detected by the new kernel. When the watches fire, unexpected events
will arrive and the xenwatch thread will crash (jumps to NULL). An
orderly reboot of a hvm guest will destroy the entire guest with all its
resources (including the watches) before it is rebuilt from scratch, so
the missing unregister is not an issue in that case.
With this change the xenstored is instructed to wipe all active watches
for the guest. However, a patch for xenstored is required so that it
accepts the XS_RESET request from a guest.

Also sync the XS_* enum with xen-unstable version.
v3:
- use XS_RESET instead of XS_INTRODUCE
- sync XS_* enum from xen-unstable
v2:
- move all code which deals with XS_INTRODUCE into xs_introduce()
(based on feedback from Ian Campbell)
- remove casts from kvec assignment
