302720742f conf: tests: fix virDomainNetDefFormat for vhost-user in client mode
The mode attribute is required for the source element of vhost-user.
Thus virDomainNetDefFormat should always generate a xml with it and not
only when the mode is server.

The commit fixes the issue. And it adds a vhostuser interface in
'client' mode to qemuxml2argv-net-vhostuser.(args|xml) to test this
usecase.

a14abd463a support for QEMU vhost-user
This patch adds support for the QEMU vhost-user feature to libvirt.
vhost-user enables the communication between a QEMU virtual machine
and other userspace process using the Virtio transport protocol.
It uses a char dev (e.g. Unix socket) for the control plane,
while the data plane based on shared memory.

The XML looks like:

<interface type='vhostuser'>
    <mac address='52:54:00:3b:83:1a'/>
    <source type='unix' path='/tmp/vhost.sock' mode='server'/>
    <model type='virtio'/>
</interface>
