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.
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.

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>
