We already use the '-nodefaults' command line arg with QEMU to stop
it adding any default devices to guests. Unfortunately, QEMU will
load global config files from /etc/qemu that may also add default
devices. These aren't blocked by '-nodefaults', so we need to also
add the '-nodefconfig' arg to prevent that.
Unfortunately these global config files are also used to define
custom CPU models. So in blocking global hardware device addition
we also block definitions of new CPU models. Libvirt doesn't know
about these custom CPU models though, so it would never make use
of them anyway. Thus blocking them via -nodefconfig isn't a show
stopping problem. We would need to expand libvirt's own CPU model
XML database to support these instead.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Add '-nodefconfig' if available
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/: Add '-nodefconfig' to all data files which
have '-nodefaults' present
The current way of assigning names to the host network backend and
NIC device in QEMU was over complicated, by varying naming scheme
based on the NIC model and backend type. This simplifies the naming
to simply be 'net0' and 'hostnet0', allowing code to easily determine
the host network name and vlan based off the primary device alias
name 'net0'. This in turn allows removal of alot of QEMU specific
code from the XML parser, and makes it easier to assign new unique
names for NICs that are hotplugged
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Remove hostnet_name
and vlan fields from virNetworkDefPtr
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c:
Use a single network alias naming scheme regardless of NIC type
or backend type. Determine VLANs from the alias name.

The QEMU 0.12.x tree has the -netdev command line argument, but not
corresponding monitor command. We can't enable the former, without
the latter since it will break hotplug/unplug.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Disable -netdev usage
until 0.13 at earliest
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c: Add test for -netdev syntax
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-net-virtio-netdev.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-net-virtio-netdev.xml: Test
data files for -netdev syntax
