Add a way to disable xen's udev scripts by using a dummy file.

Why?

Does one of "chmod -x" or "rm" not suffice?

Because it provides the ability to install side-by-side multiple toolstacks, including one that doesn't use the xen's xend udev scripts.

chmod -x and rm would do the same things (provided udev isn't unhappy), but modifying files of package A from another package B is highly frowned upon.
