In order to close a race window for Xenstore live update when using
the new unique_id of domains, the migration stream needs to contain
this unique_id for each domain known by Xenstore.

Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com>

V8:
- new patch
V9:
- instead of using an offset, use a flag for unique_id presence
