    libxl: Document ~/serial/ correctly
    
    xenstore-paths.markdown talked about ~/device/serial/, but that's not
    used.
    
    (It is very wrong for this value, which contains a driver domain
    filesystem path, to be in the guest's area of xenstore.  However, it
    is only ever created by libxl and ready by xenconsoled.  When it is
    created, it inherits the read-only permissions of /local/domain/DOMID.
    So there is no security bug.)
    
    This is a followup to XSA-175.
