If xenstored is running in a stub domain clients won't be able to open
a unix domain socket to it, but will be able to access it via xenbus.

To handle this situation this patch makes xs_daemon_open() fall back to
xs_domain_open() - which tries to open a connection via xenbus - if it
cannot open a unix domain socket.

Depends on linux xenbus commands whitelist patch. Enhanced by linux
xenbus aborting read/write if not ready, part of my big linux xenbus
patch.

I wasn't so sure what to do about the read-only connection, but I made
it fall back to the non-read-only socket/device if the read-only socket
isn't available.
