libxl: ocaml: provide defaults for libxl types
Libxl functions such as libxl_domain_create_new take large structs
of configuration parameters. Often, we would like to use the default
values for many of these parameters.
The struct and keyed-union types in libxl have init functions, which
fill in the defaults for a given type. This commit provides an OCaml
interface to obtain records of defaults by calling the relevant init
function.
These default records can be used as a base to construct your own
records, and to selectively override parameters where needed.
For example, a Domain_create_info record can now be created as follows:
Xenlight.Domain_create_info.({ default ctx () with
ty = Xenlight.DOMAIN_TYPE_PV;
name = Some vm_name;
uuid = vm_uuid;
})
For types with KeyedUnion fields, such as Domain_build_info, a record
with defaults is obtained by specifying the type key:
Xenlight.Domain_build_info.default ctx ~ty:Xenlight.DOMAIN_TYPE_HVM ()
