[PATCH v20210701 05/40] tools: handle libxl__physmap_info.name properly in convert-legacy-stream



The trailing member name[] in libxl__physmap_info is written as a
cstring into the stream. The current code does a sanity check if the
last byte is zero. This attempt fails with python3.4 because name[-1]
returns a type int. As a result the comparison with byte(\00) fails:

  File "/usr/lib/xen/bin/convert-legacy-stream", line 347, in 
read_libxl_toolstack
    raise StreamError("physmap name not NUL terminated")
StreamError: physmap name not NUL terminated

To handle both python variants the cstring is unpacked into the actual
string and the trailing nil.
