As discussed, this series implements the xen console client startup protocol.
Somewhat related, I need to fix libxl_console_exec as well.
With this series:
1. libxl will wait for tty node to show up before exec'ing console client.
2. xl will wait for console client to be ready before unpausing guest.
Document the protocol and do so clean up as well.
RFC because I haven't paied much attention to error handling etc.
Wei.
