This implements the basic migration support in the back end, with unit
tests that give additional confidence in the node-counting already in
the tree.
However, the existing PV back ends like xen-disk don't support migration
yet. They will reset the ring and fail to continue where they left off.
We will fix that in future, but not in time for the 8.0 release.
Since there's also an open question of whether we want to serialize the
full XenStore or only the guest-owned nodes in /local/domain/${domid},
for now just mark the XenStore device as unmigratable.

Firing watches on the nodes that still exist is relatively easy; just
walk the tree and look at the nodes with refcount of one.
Firing watches on *deleted* nodes is more fun. We add 'modified_in_tx'
and 'deleted_in_tx' flags to each node. Nodes with those flags cannot
be shared, as they will always be unique to the transaction in which
they were created.
When xs_node_walk would need to *create* a node as scaffolding and it
encounters a deleted_in_tx node, it can resurrect it simply by clearing
its deleted_in_tx flag. If that node originally had any *data*, they're
gone, and the modified_in_tx flag will have been set when it was first
deleted.
We then attempt to send appropriate watches when the transaction is
committed, properly delete the deleted_in_tx nodes, and remove the
modified_in_tx flag from the others.

Given that the whole thing supported copy on write from the beginning,
transactions end up being fairly simple. On starting a transaction, just
take a ref of the existing root; swap it back in on a successful commit.
The main tree has a transaction ID too, and we keep a record of the last
transaction ID given out. if the main tree is ever modified when it isn't
the latest, it gets a new transaction ID.
A commit can only succeed if the main tree hasn't moved on since it was
forked. Strictly speaking, the XenStore protocol allows a transaction to
succeed as long as nothing *it* read or wrote has changed in the interim,
but no implementations do that; *any* change is sufficient to abort a
transaction.
This does not yet fire watches on the changed nodes on a commit. That bit
is more fun and will come in a follow-on commit.

Starts out fairly simple: a hash table of watches based on the path.
Except there can be multiple watches on the same path, so the watch ends
up being a simple linked list, and the head of that list is in the hash
table. Which makes removal a bit of a PITA but it's not so bad; we just
special-case "I had to remove the head of the list and now I have to
replace it in / remove it from the hash table". And if we don't remove
the head, it's a simple linked-list operation.
We do need to fire watches on *deleted* nodes, so instead of just a simple
xs_node_unref() on the topmost victim, we need to recurse down and fire
watches on them all.

This is a fairly simple implementation of a copy-on-write tree.
The node walk function starts off at the root, with 'inplace == true'.
If it ever encounters a node with a refcount greater than one (including
the root node), then that node is shared with other trees, and cannot
be modified in place, so the inplace flag is cleared and we copy on
write from there on down.
Xenstore write has 'mkdir -p' semantics and will create the intermediate
nodes if they don't already exist, so in that case we flip the inplace
flag back to true as we populate the newly-created nodes.
We put a copy of the absolute path into the buffer in the struct walk_op,
with *two* NUL terminators at the end. As xs_node_walk() goes down the
tree, it replaces the next '/' separator with a NUL so that it can use
the 'child name' in place. The next recursion down then puts the '/'
back and repeats the exercise for the next path element... if it doesn't
hit that *second* NUL termination which indicates the true end of the
path.
