    libxl: Use libxl_strdup instead of strdup on libxl_version_info
    
    The change is simple replace of raw strdup with a libxl variant.
    The benefit of that is the libxl variant has the extra
    behaviour of abort-on-alloc-fail - and will improve error handling.
    
    libxl_version_info is a bit odd - it is a public function and as libxl.h
    mentions - the callers of libxl_ public function needs to call the 
appropiate
    _dispose() function.
    
    "However libxl_get_version_info() is special and returns a cached
    result from the ctx which cannot and should not be freed (as evidenced
    by it returning a const struct). This data is freed in libxl_ctx_free()
    by calling libxl_version_info_dispose(). This is why none of the callers
    remember to free -- they shouldn't be doing so." (Ian Campbell)
    
    So the patch makes sure to use the NOGC.
