The new xen_console protocol changed the default xen_console output device
from whatever Qemu chose to whatever xenstore choses and "pty" as fallback.
This is not how Qemu works. It has its own serial redirection semantics. So
it xenstore doesn't contain information on what to do, Qemu is the place to
ask.

Since CS 21994 on xen-unstable.hg and CS
466608f3a32e1f9808acdf832a5843af37e5fcec on qemu-xen-unstable.git, few
changes have been introduced to the PV console xenstore protocol, as
described by the document docs/misc/console.txt under xen-unstable.hg.
From the Qemu point of view, very few modifications are needed to
correctly support the protocol: read from xenstore the "output" node
that tell us what the output of the PV console is going to be.
In case the output is a tty, write to xenstore the device name.
Changes in v2:
- fix error paths: free malloc'ed strings and close the xenstore
connection before returning;
- remove useless snprintf in xenstore_store_pv_console_info if i == 0.
Changes in v3:
- replace xs_daemon_open/xs_daemon_close with xs_open/xs_close.
Changes in v4:
- add a compatibility implementation of xs_open/xs_close.
Changes in v5:
- fix code style.

This patch adds a xenconsole backend driver. It it based on current
xen-unstable code. It has been changed to make use of the common
backend driver code.
