BZ 1680: Xend fails to start if /var/lib/xend/state/*.xml are empty

which I get often when replacing the Xen hypervisor with a newer version.

This can be easily be reproduced under Fedora Core 16 by installing
xen RPMs and then replacing the xen.gz with a newer version.

/var/log/xen/xend.log reports:

    parser.Parse("", True)
ExpatError: no element found: line 1, column 0

And with this patch, the problem disappears
