    tools/xenstore: drop use of tdb
    
    Today all Xenstore nodes are stored in a TDB data base. This data base
    has several disadvantages:
    
    - It is using a fixed sized hash table, resulting in high memory
      overhead for small installations with only very few VMs, and a rather
      large performance hit for systems with lots of VMs due to many
      collisions.
      The hash table size today is 7919 entries. This means that e.g. in
      case of a simple desktop use case with 2 or 3 VMs probably far less
      than 10% of the entries will be used (assuming roughly 100 nodes per
      VM). OTOH a setup on a large server with 500 VMs would result in
      heavy conflicts in the hash list with 5-10 nodes per hash table entry.
    
    - TDB is using a single large memory area for storing the nodes. It
      only ever increases this area and will never shrink it afterwards.
      This will result in more memory usage than necessary after a peak of
      Xenstore usage.
    
    - Xenstore is only single-threaded, while TDB is designed to be fit
      for multi-threaded use cases, resulting in much higher code
      complexity than needed.
    
    - Special use cases of Xenstore are not possible to implement with TDB
      in an effective way, while an implementation of a data base tailored
      for Xenstore could simplify some handling (e.g. transactions) a lot.
    
    So drop using TDB and store the nodes directly in memory making them
    easily accessible. Use a hash-based lookup mechanism for fast lookup
    of nodes by their full path.
    
    For now only replace TDB keeping the current access functions.
