During early dom0 boot, before xenstored is started any access to it
through /proc/xen/xenbus (or /dev/xen/xenbus) will wait until xenstored
is started. If that happens in script ordered to start before xenstored,
we have a deadlock. Prevent this by using `xenstore-ls -s` in dom0,
which will fail immediately when xenstored isn't running yet. This fail
isn't a problem, because when xenstored isn't running yet, surely device
isn't attached anywhere.

This prevents simultaneous attachment of the same device (in practice)
to multiple VMs.
This change to be effective requires udev action being called when such
device is attached/detached to some domain. Script
/etc/xen/scripts/block will take care of it.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1081
Exclude exclude device if mounted/part of other device, or any of its
partition is used (same definition). Update this state whenever device
or it's partition receives udev event.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1600
When device becomes non-attachable (for example because it gets mounted,
or used as part of LVM/RAID/whatever), it should be removed from
advertised available devices. The code for removing QubesDB entry was
buggy - the device is actually a directory in QubesDB, not a single
entry.
