When a user does not explicitly set a <driver> in the disk config,
libvirt defers selection of a default to libxl. This approach works
fine when starting a domain with such configuration or attaching a
disk to a running domain. But when detaching such a disk, libxl
will fail with "unrecognized disk backend type: 0". libxl makes no
attempt to recalculate a default backend (driver) on detach and
simply fails when uninitialized.
This patch updates the libvirt disk config with the backend selected
by libxl when starting a domain or attaching a disk to a running
domain. Another benefit of this approach is that the live XML is
also updated with the backend driver selected by libxl.
