This reverts commit 1a72b83d566df952033529001b0f88a66d7f4393. That patch had made the incorrect assumption that the firewalld zone of a bridge would not be changed/removed when firewalld reloaded its rules (e.g. with "killall -HUP firewalld"). It turns out my memory was faulty, and this *does* remove the bridge interface's zone, which results in guest networking failure after a firewalld reload, until the virtual network is restarted. The functionality reverted as a result of this patch reversion will be added back in an upcoming patch that keeps the zone setting in networkAddFirewallRules() (rather than moving it into a separate function) so that it is called every time the network's firewall rules are reloaded (including the reload that happens in response to a reload notification from firewalld).

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.
