This device is used by the user-space daemon that runs xenstore
(xenstored). It allows xenstored to map the xenstore memory page, and
reports the event channel xenstore is using.

dev/xen/xenstore/xenstored_dev.c:
- Add the xenstored character device that's used to map the xenstore
memory into user-space, and to report the event channel used by
xenstore.
conf/files:
- Add the device to the build process.
Convert the xenstore user-space device (/dev/xen/xenstore) to a device
using the newbus interface. This allows us to make the device
initialization dependant on the initialization of xenstore itself in
the kernel.

dev/xen/xenstore/xenstore.c:
- Convert to a newbus device, this removes the xs_dev_init function.
xen/xenstore/xenstore_internal.h:
- Remove xs_dev_init prototype.
dev/xen/xenstore/xenstore.c:
- Don't call xs_dev_init anymore, the device will attach itself when
xenstore is started.
The xenstore related devices in the kernel cannot be started until
xenstored is running, which will happen later in the Dom0 case. If
start_info_t doesn't contain a valid xenstore event channel, defer all
xenstore related devices attachment to later.

dev/xen/xenstore/xenstore.c:
- Prevent xenstore from trying to attach it's descendant devices if
xenstore is not initialized.
- Add a callback in the xenstore interrupt filter that will trigger
the plug of xenstore descendant devices on the first received
interrupt. This interrupt is generated when xenstored attaches to
the event channel, and serves as a notification that xenstored is
running.
Move xenstore related devices (xenstore.c and xenstore_dev.c) from
xen/xenstore to dev/xen/xenstore. This is just code motion, no
functional changes.
