Check "mac" address sooner in device_create function, before doing device_add.
In XendDomainInfo.py device_create function, when device type is
"vif", it has a paragraph to check the validity of "mac"
address. Before checking validity, device_add has been done. But after
checking validity, if the mac address is invlid, it raises VmError and
exits directly without doing clean work like removing the device item
from config info. This will cause that the incorrect mac address is
saved into VM Config file and VM fails to restart. If check "mac"
validity before doing device_add, there will be no problem.
this patch implements few missing options in xl so that it can be
used as a replacement of xm in xendomains:
- dryrun and quiet, long options to xl create;
- l, option to xl list.
printf_info is now used to print the configuration of the running VMs so
the output has been reformatted to be similar to the output of xm list -l.
There is still one command used in xendomains that is not implemented in
xl and not covered by this patch: xm shutdown. However a patch has been
sent to the list in the past and we are expecting a new version of it
soon.

* properly documented
* the way everyone would expect it to work
