The long-deprecated use of <driver name='vfio|xen|kvm'/> in domain xml
for <hostdev> devices was only ever necessary during the period when
libvirt (and the Linux kernel) supported both VFIO and "legacy KVM"
styles of hostdev device assignment for QEMU. This became pointless
many years ago when legacy KVM device assignment was removed from the
kernel, and support for that style of device assignment was completely
disabled in the libvirt source in 2019 (commit
v5.6.0-316-g2e7225ea8c).
Nevertheless, there were instances of <driver name='vfio'/> in the
unit test data that were then (unnecessarily) propagated to several
more tests over the years. This patch cleans out those unnecessary
explicit settings of driver name='vfio' in all QEMU unit test data,
proving that the attribute is no longer (externally) needed. (A later
patch which adds a 2nd attribute to the <driver> element will include
a test case that explicitly exercises the driver name attribute).

I remembered to document this bit, but somehow forgot to implement it.
This adds <driver name='kvm|vfio'/> as a subelement to the <forward>
element of a network (this puts it parallel to the match between
mode='hostdev' attribute in a network and type='hostdev' in an
<interface>).
Since it's already documented, only the parser, formatter, backend
driver recognition (it just translates/moves the flag into the
<interface> at the appropriate time), and a test case were needed.
(I used a separate enum for the values both because the original is
defined in domain_conf.h, which is unavailable from network_conf.h,
and because in the future it's possible that we may want to support
other non-hostdev oriented driver names in the network parser; this
makes sure that one can be expanded without the other).
This patch introduces the new forward mode='hostdev' along with
attribute managed. Includes updates to the network RNG and new xml
parser/formatter code.
