Introduce "hcall" pointer to indicate pending hypercall.

Currently we look at the "trapnum" to see if the Guest wants a
hypercall.  But once the hypercall is done we have to reset trapnum to
a bogus value, otherwise if we exit to userspace and return, we'd run
the same hypercall twice (that was a nasty bug to find!).

This has two main effects:

1) When Jes's patch changes the hypercall args to be a generic "struct
   hcall_args" we simply change the type of "lg->hcall".  It's set by
   arch code, so if it has to copy args or something it can do so, and
   point "hcall" into lg->arch somewhere.

2) Async hypercalls only get run when an actual hypercall is pending.
   This simplfies the code a little and is a more logical semantic.
