Refactored the interface device type identification to make it more
clear about the operations. Add support for udev devtype to detect
VLANs on Linux 3.7 and newer. Move VLAN detection based on device
name to fallback case.
Mechanical move to break up udevIfaceGetIfaceDef() into different
helpers for each of the interface types to hopefully make the code
easier to follow. This moves the vlan code to
udevIfaceGetIfaceDefVlan().
Based on feedback from Laine Stump, improve a number of the error
handling cases to report the issue to the user instead of not generating
data or giving vague errors. Added the bridge device name to every error
message as well to make it clear which bridge failed.

udevIfaceGetIfaceDefBridge().
Added support for retrieving the XML defining a specific interface via
the udev based backend to virInterface. Implement the following APIs
for the udev based backend:
* virInterfaceGetXMLDesc()
Note: Does not support bond devices.
Given Daniel's announcement[1], code targetting the next release will
be in 1.0.0, not 0.10.3. Changed mechanically with:
for f in $(git grep -l '0\(.\)10\13\b') ; do
sed -i -e 's/0\(.\)10\13/1\10\10/g' $f
done

* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Use 1.0.0 for next release.
* src/interface/interface_backend_udev.c: Likewise.
Add support to check if a specific interface is active by supporting the
following API function in the udev based virInterface backend:
* virConnectInterfaceIsActive()
Add a read-only udev based backend for virInterface. Useful for distros
that do not have netcf support yet. Multiple libvirt based utilities use
a HAL based fallback when virInterface is not available which is less
than ideal. This implements:
* virConnectNumOfInterfaces()
* virConnectListInterfaces()
* virConnectNumOfDefinedInterfaces()
* virConnectListDefinedInterfaces()
* virConnectListAllInterfaces()
* virConnectInterfaceLookupByName()
* virConnectInterfaceLookupByMACString()
