280ece4af9 qemu: format server interface without a listen address
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1130390

The listen address is not mandatory for <interface type='server'>
but when it's not specified, we've been formatting it as:
-netdev socket,listen=(null):5558,id=hostnet0
which failed with:
Device 'socket' could not be initialized

Omit the address completely and only format the port in the listen
attribute.

Also fix the schema to allow specifying a model.

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>
