[PATCH 4/5] tools/xenstored: remove "-N" command line option



The "-N" (do not daemonize) command line option is of questionable use:
its sole purpose seems to be to aid debugging of xenstored by making it
easier to start xenstored under gdb, or to see any debug messages
easily.

Debug messages can as well be sent to syslog(), while gdb can be
attached to the daemon easily. The only not covered case is an error
while initializing xenstored, but this could be handled e.g. by saving
a core dump, which can be analyzed later.

The call of talloc_enable_leak_report_full() done only with "-N"
specified is no longer needed, as the same can be achieved via
"xenstore-control memreport".

Slightly RFC, as this is making debugging a little bit harder in
specific cases. OTOH I didn't use this option since years, in spite of
having done a _lot_ of xenstore hacking.
