PATCH 1/1 tools: Move bootloaders to libexec directory

pygrub and xenpvnetboot are meant to be run by tools, and not by the user, and thus should be in /usr/lib/xen/bin rather than /usr/bin. This patch series:
* Causes libxl to look in the libexec dir if a full path is not specified
* Moves pygrub and xenpvnetboot into the libexec dir
* For compatibility with existing configs, puts a link to pygrub in /usr/bin
* Warns the user that /usr/bin/pygrub is deprecated

PATCH 1/1 libxl: Look for bootloader in libexec path

If the full path for a bootloader (such as pygrub or xenpvnetboot) is not given, look for it in the libexec path.

PATCH 1/1 tools: Install pv bootloaders in libexec rather than /usr/bin

In reply to George Dunlap

pygrub and xenpvnetboot are meant to be run by tools, and not by the user, and thus should be in /usr/lib/xen/bin rather than /usr/bin.

Because most config files will still have an absolute path pointing to /usr/bin/pygrub, make a symbolic link that we will deprecate.
