PATCH 1/1 xend: Remember bootable flag for vbds in xenstore

When xend is restarted, bootable flags of all disk devices are lost and then the first disk is marked as bootable by a "compatibility hack". When a guest domain is created with a mixture of several vbd and tap devices, the compatibility hack may fail to choose the right bootable device. Thus preventing the guest to be restarted. This patch fixes this behavior by remembering bootable flag for each disk device in xenstore database.
