    golang/xenlight: Don't leak memory on context open failure
    
    If libxl_ctx_alloc() returns an error, we need to destroy the logger
    that we made.
    
    Restructure the Close() method such that it checks for each resource
    to be freed and then frees it.  This allows Close() to be come
    idempotent, as well as to be a useful clean-up to a partially-created
    context.
