Implement dispose method for libxlDomainObjPrivate
When creating a timer/event handler reference counting is used. So it could be possible (in theory) that libxlDomainObjPrivateFree is called with reference counting >1. The problem is that libxlDomainObjPrivateFree leave the object in an invalid state with ctx freed (but still having dandling pointer). This can lead timer/event handler to core. This patch implements a dispose method for libxlDomainObjPrivate, and moves freeing the libxl ctx to the dispose method, ensuring the ctx is valid while the object's reference count is > 0.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
