Add a new structure remus state, and move concrete layer's private
member to remus state.
it is pure refactoring and no functional changes.
Init interval in libxl__remus_setup(). It is safe to move this initialisation,
because this value is only used for remus, and remus will use this value after
libxl__remus_setup().
