    golang/xenlight: fix StringList toC conversion
    
    The current implementation of StringList.toC does not correctly account
    for how libxl_string_list is expected to be laid out in C, which is clear
    when one looks at libxl_string_list_length in libxl.c. In particular,
    StringList.toC does not account for the extra memory that should be
    allocated for the "sentinel" entry. And, when using the "slice trick" to
    create a slice that can address C memory, the unsafe.Pointer conversion
    should be on a C.libxl_string_list, not *C.libxl_string_list.
    
    Fix these problems by (1) allocating an extra slot in the slice used to
    address the C memory, and explicity set the last entry to nil so the C
    memory will be zeroed out, and (2) dereferencing csl in the
    unsafe.Pointer conversion.
