xenstored: allow guests to reintroduce themselves
During kexec all old watches have to be removed, otherwise the new
kernel will receive unexpected events. Allow a guest to introduce itself
and cleanup all of its watches.
What about security wise ?
Guest userspace suddenly becomes able to do this operation (and DoS themself)
where they used to be limited to normal read/write/.. operations.
Also you're changing the C xenstored behavior without changing
the OCaml one.
