Transaction IDs: when you create a transaction instead of returning "OK"
it returns an ID (this also helps if later we want multiple transactions
at a time on a single connection).  If you were in a transaction you
EBADF, you simply ask for it back before continuing: this can be done by
libxenstore.

It's simple enough to implement, because xenstored keeps each
transaction in a separate file: it just has to pick up those files again
on restart.

I'll start sending patches...
Cheers,
Rusty.
