Subject: [PATCH 17/21] libxl: Do not trust backend in channel list
Read the name from /libxl/device. Pass the /libxl path to
libxl__device_channel_from_xenstore.
This removes the final route by which READ_LIBXLDEV might receive a
backend path.
This is part of XSA-178.

v2: Remove be_path variable which is now no longer used.
