tools/xenstore: allow special watches for privileged callers only

The special watches "@introduceDomain" and "@releaseDomain" should be
allowed for privileged callers only, as they allow to gain information
about presence of other guests on the host. So send watch events for
those watches via privileged connections only.

In order to allow for disaggregated setups where e.g. driver domains
need to make use of those special watches add support for calling
"set permissions" for those special nodes, too.

This is part of XSA-115.
