xen / notify: introduce a new XenWatchList abstraction

Xenstore watch call-backs are already abstracted away from XenBus using
the XenWatch data structure but the associated NotifierList manipulation
and file handle registration is still open coded in various xen_bus_...()
functions.
This patch creates a new XenWatchList data structure to allow these
interactions to be abstracted away from XenBus as well. This is in
preparation for a subsequent patch which will introduce separate watch lists
for XenBus and XenDevice objects.

NOTE: This patch also introduces a new notifier_list_empty() helper function
      for the purposes of adding an assertion that a XenWatchList is not
      freed whilst its associated NotifierList is still occupied.
