xl: error if vif backend!=0 is used with run_hotplug_scripts
Print an error and exit if backend!=0 is used in conjunction with run_hotplug_scripts. Currently libxl can only execute hotplug scripts from the toolstack domain (the same domain xl is running from). Added a description and workaround of this issue on xl-network-configuration.
