/**
 * virNetDevVethCreate:
 * @veth1: pointer to name for parent end of veth pair
 * @veth2: pointer to return name for container end of veth pair
 *
 * Creates a veth device pair using the ip command:
 * ip link add veth1 type veth peer name veth2
 * If veth1 points to NULL on entry, it will be a valid interface on
 * return.  veth2 should point to NULL on entry.
 *
 * NOTE: If veth1 and veth2 names are not specified, ip will auto assign
 *       names.  There seems to be two problems here -
 *       1) There doesn't seem to be a way to determine the names of the
 *          devices that it creates.  They show up in ip link show and
 *          under /sys/class/net/ however there is no guarantee that they
 *          are the devices that this process just created.
 *       2) Once one of the veth devices is moved to another namespace, it
 *          is no longer visible in the parent namespace.  This seems to
 *          confuse the name assignment causing it to fail with File exists.
 *       Because of these issues, this function currently allocates names
 *       prior to using the ip command, and returns any allocated names
 *       to the caller.
 *
 * Returns 0 on success or -1 in case of error
