tools/xenstore: fire watches only when removing a specific node

Instead of firing all watches for removing a subtree in one go, do so
only when the related node is being removed.

The watches for the top-most node being removed include all watches
including that node, while watches for nodes below that are only fired
if they are matching exactly. This avoids firing any watch more than
once when removing a subtree.

This is part of XSA-115.
