Introduce support for domainInterfaceStats API call for querying network interface statistics. Consequently it also enables the use of `virsh domifstat <dom> <interface name>` command plus seeing the interfaces names instead of "-" when doing `virsh domiflist <dom>`. After successful guest creation we fill the network interfaces names based on domain, device id and append suffix if it's emulated in the following form: vif<domid>.<devid>[-emu]. We extract the network interfaces info from the libxl_domain_config object in libxlDomainCreateIfaceNames() to generate ifname. On domain cleanup we also clear ifname, in case it was set by libvirt (i.e. being prefixed with "vif"). We also skip these two steps in case the name of the interface was manually inserted by the adminstrator. For getting the interface statistics we resort to virNetInterfaceStats and let libvirt handle the platform specific nits. Note that the latter is not yet supported in FreeBSD.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
