network: utility functions for updating network config
These new functions are highly inspired by those in domain_conf.c (but not identical), and are intended to make it simpler to update the various combinations of live/persistent network configs. The network driver wasn't previously as careful about the separation between the live "status" in network->def and the persistent "config" in network->newDef (or sometimes in network->def). This series attempts to remedy some of that, but probably doesn't go all the way (enough to get these functions working and enable continued work on virNetworkUpdate though). bridge_driver.c and test_driver.c were updated in a few places to take advantage of the new functions and/or account for changes in argument lists.
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.

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.
