    libs/light: Rework generation of include/_libxl_*.h
    
    Instead of moving the public "_libxl_*.h" headers, we make a copy to
    the destination so that make doesn't try to remake the targets
    "_libxl_*.h" in libs/light/ again.
    
    A new .PRECIOUS target is added to tell make to not deletes the
    intermediate targets generated by "gentypes.py".
