If virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags() was used to update an <interface>, and
the interface type changed from type='network' where the network was
an unmanaged bridge (so actualType == bridge) to type='bridge'
(i.e. actualType *also* == bridge), the update would fail due to the
perceived change in type.
In practice it is okay to switch between any interface types that end
up using a tap device, since libvirt just needs to attach the device
to a new bridge. But in this case we were erroneously rejecting it due
to a conditional that was too restrictive. This is what the code was doing:
if (old->type != new->type)
[allow update]
else
if ((oldActual == bridge and newActual == network)
|| (oldActual == network and newActual == bridge)) {
[allow update]
else
[error]
In the case described above though, old->type and new->type don't match,
but oldActual and newActual are both 'bridge', so we get an error.
This patch changes the inner conditional so that any combination of
'network' and 'bridge' for oldActual and newActual, since they both
use a tap device connected to a bridge.

Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
