<title>xen: modify xenstore watch event interface</title>

Today a Xenstore watch event is delivered via a callback function
declared as:

void (*callback)(struct xenbus_watch *,
                 const char **vec, unsigned int len);

As all watch events only ever come with two parameters (path and token)
changing the prototype to:

void (*callback)(struct xenbus_watch *,
                 const char *path, const char *token);

is the natural thing to do.

Apply this change and adapt all users.

Use xenbus_read_unsigned() instead of xenbus_scanf() when possible.
This requires to change the type of one read from int to unsigned,
but this case has been wrong before: negative values are not allowed
for the modified case.

Use the opportunity to rename the queue flag as well, and remove the
