libxl: fix device counting race in libxl__devices_destroy
Don't have a fixed number of devices in the aodevs array, and instead
size it depending on the devices present in xenstore. Somewhat
formalise the multiple device addition/removal machinery to make this
clearer and easier to do.
As a side-effect we fix a few "lost thread of control" bug which would
occur if there were no devices of a particular kind. (Various if
statements which checked for there being no devices have become
redundant, but are retained to avoid making the patch bigger.)
Specifically:
* Users of libxl__ao_devices are no longer expected to know in
advance how many device operations they are going to do. Instead
they can initiate them one at a time, between bracketing calls to
"begin" and "prepared".
* The array of aodevs used for this is dynamically sized; to support
this it's an array of pointers rather than of structs.
* Users of libxl__ao_devices are presented with a more opaque interface.
They are are no longer expected to, themselves,
- look into the array of aodevs (this is now private)
- know that the individual addition/removal completions are
handled by libxl__ao_devices_callback (this callback function
is now a private function for the multidev machinery)
- ever deal with populating the contents of an aodevs
* The doc comments relating to some of the members of
libxl__ao_device are clarified. (And the member `aodevs' is moved
to put it with the other members with the same status.)
* The multidev machinery allocates an aodev to represent the
operation of preparing all of the other operations. See
the comment in libxl__multidev_begin.
A wrinkle is that the functions are called "multidev" but the structs
are called "libxl__ao_devices" and "aodevs". I have given these
functions this name to distinguish them from "libxl__ao_device" and
"aodev" and so forth by more than just the use of the plural "s"
suffix.
In the next patch we will rename the structs.
