From: Nick Rosbrook <rosbrookn@ainfosec.com>

After Xen summit, we started the discussion in this[1] RFC thread
to figure out how to generate Go bindings for libxl. This series
implements that Go code generation using the existing IDL, and updates
the existing hand-written code in xenlight.go to use the generated
code.

The goal of this series is to provide a good foundation for continued
development of the Go package.

The v1 series can be found on my GitHub branch[2].

Changes in v2:
- GitHub branch for v2 [3].
- Drop patch 01/24 from v1 since was committed as a bug fix for 4.13.
- The Makefile changes in 24/24 from v1 have been moved to the patches
  where the build changes are introduced.

Changes in v3:
- GitHub branch for v3 [4].
- Simplify a pattern for iterating over builtin types
  in their fromC functions.
- Try not to duplicate as much code in gengotypes.py, and
  use consistent style in generated code when calling fromC.
