    libxc: Provide access to internal handles
    
    In order to support auditing of qemu depriv, my audit tool wants to
    know the fd of a privcmd handle on which it can easily make
    hypercalls.  xencall provides such a handle, but has no cooked
    facilities for making hypercalls.  So I open a libxc handle.  That
    means I need to get the privcmd fd out of the libxc handle.
    
    ISTM that it is best to do this by providing an interface to get the
    underlying library handles for a libxc handle.  This kind of interface
    is quite common elsewhere and has not caused problems.
    
    libxc is not a stable API so the downside risk of providing this
    access is not significant.
