[PATCH v2 6/8] tools/ocaml/xenstored: add cooperative live-update command
See docs/misc/xenstore.txt for documentation on live-update command.
Validate that the binary exists and that the cmdline is valid,
to prevent typos from taking down xenstore
(if live-update fails there is no way back due to the use of execve).

Live update only proceeds if there are no active transactions,
and no unprocess input or unflushed output.
It is not yet possible to force the live-update.
