    tools: xenstored: if the reply is too big then send E2BIG error
    
    This fixes the issue for both C and ocaml xenstored, however only the ocaml
    xenstored is vulnerable in its default configuration.
    
    Adding a new error appears to be safe, since bit libxenstore and the Linux
    driver at least treat an unknown error code as EINVAL.
    
    This is XSA-72 / CVE-2013-4416.
