Subject: [PATCH] Allow NULL mac address in virGetInterface

There are places where an interface will not have a mac address, and netcf
returns this as a NULL pointer rather than a pointer to an empty string.
Rather than checking for this all over the place in libvirt, just save it
in the virInterface object as an empty string.

* src/datatypes.c: allow NULL mac in virGetInterface()
