    tools/oxenstored: Trim txhistory on xenbus reconnect
    
    There is a global history, containing transactions from the past 0.05s, 
which
    get trimmed whenever any transaction commits or aborts.  Destroying a domain
    will cause xenopsd to perform some transactions deleting the tree, so that 
is
    fine.  But I think that a domain can abuse the xenbus reconnect facility to
    cause a large history to be recorded - provided that noone does any
    transactions on the system inbetween, which may be difficult to achieve 
given
    squeezed's constant pinging.
    
    The theoretical situation is like this:
    - a domain starts a transaction, creates as large a tree as it can, commits
      it. Then repeatedly:
        - start a transaction, do nothing with it, start a transaction, delete
          part of the large tree, write some new unique data there, don't commit
        - cause a xenbus reconnect (I think this can be done by writing 
something
          to the ring). This causes all transactions/watches for the connection 
to
          be cleared, but NOT the history, there were no commits, so nobody
          trimmed the history, i.e. it the history can contain transactions from
          more than just 0.05s
        - loop back and start more transactions, you can keep this up 
indefinitely
          without hitting quotas
    
    Now there is a periodic History.trim running every 0.05s, so I don't think 
you
    can do much damage with it.  But lets be safe an trim the transaction 
history
    anyway on reconnect.
