Laine Stump dad50cf855 conf: make virDomainNetNotifyActualDevice() callable for all interface types
The bridge reattach functionality in this function should be called
for interface types other than just type='network', so make it
callable for any type - it just becomes a NOP for types where no
action is needed.

In the case of <interface type='network'> we need to create a port in
the network driver, and for both type='network and type='bridge' we
need to reattach the bridge device (note that
virDomainNetGetActualBridgeName() gets the bridge name from the
appropriate (and different!) location for either type of interface).

All other interfaces currently require no action.

modifying callers of this function to actually call it for all
interface types is in the next patch. For now the behavior should be
identical pre and post-patch.

(NB: the conn argument can now legitimately be NULL, so we need to
change the ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL() directive for the function's
declaration - I noticed when making this change that argument 3 (the
NetDefPtr) could never be NULL, so I added ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(3) while
removing ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL(1) (conn)).

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.
