All the unit tests that use iptables/ip6tables/ebtables have been
written to omit the locking/exclusive use primitive on the generated
commandlines. Even though none of the tests actually execute those
commands (and so it doesn't matter for purposes of the test whether or
not the commands support these options), it still made sense when some
systems had these locking options and some didn't.
We are now at a point where every supported Linux distro has supported
the locking options on these commands for quite a long time, and are
going to make their use non-optional. As a first step, this patch uses
the virFirewallSetLockOverride() function, which is called at the
beginning of all firewall-related tests, to set all the bools
controlling whether or not the locking options are used to true. This
means that all the test cases must be updated to include the proper
locking option in their commandlines.
The change to make actual execs of the commands unconditionally use
the locking option will be in an upcoming patch - this one affects
only the unit tests.

Creating firewall rules for the virtual networks causes the kernel to
load the conntrack module. This imposes a significant performance
penalty on Linux network traffic. Thus we want to only take that hit if
we actually have virtual networks running.
We need to create global firewall rules during startup in order to
"upgrade" rules for any running networks created by older libvirt.
If no running networks are present though, we can safely delay setup
until the time we actually start a network.
