    tools/libs/light: Fix nic->vlan memory allocation
    
    After the following commit:
    3bc14e4fa4b9 ("tools/libs/light: Add vlan field to libxl_device_nic")
    xl list -l aborts with a double free error if a domain has at least
    one vif defined:
    
      $ sudo xl list -l
      free(): double free detected in tcache 2
      Aborted
    
    Orginally, the vlan field was called vid and was defined as an integer.
    It was appropriate to call libxl__xs_read_checked() with gc passed as
    the string data was copied to a different variable.  However, the final
    version uses a string data type and the call should have been changed
    to use NOGC instead of gc to allow that data to live past the gc
    controlled lifetime, in line with the other string fields.
    
    This patch makes the change to pass NOGC instead of gc and moves the
    new code to be next to the other string fields (fixing a couple of
    errant tabs along the way), as recommended by Jason.
