this function should more than likely return a uint64_t or a uint32_t, 
but certainly not an unsigned long. and since it apply to a domain it 
should be call libxl_domain_get_start_time.

I find this command basically useless, since on restore the "start_time" 
is not kept. do we actually need this ?
