[libvirt] [PATCH] Implement dispose method for libxlDomainObjPrivate

[Frediano Ziglio]

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 destroy the object before disposing it so at timer/event object
is still valid.
