[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 1/5] xl: convert main() exit codes to EXIT_[SUCCESS|FAILURE]



Turning main() function exit codes towards using the EXIT_[SUCCESS|FAILURE]
constants, instead of instead of arbitrary numbers or libxl return codes.

Also includes a document comment in xl.h stating xl process should always
return EXIT_FOO and main_* can be treated as main() as if they are returning
a process exit status and not a function return value)

v5->v6: No changes.
v4->v5: No changes.
v3->v4: Aligned comment correctly.
v2->v3: Commented more precisely and aligned comment properly.
v1->v2: Applied new approach (main() functions return
        EXIT_SUCCESS/FAILURE and other functions return 0/1).
