The current way of assigning names to the host network backend and
NIC device in QEMU was over complicated, by varying naming scheme
based on the NIC model and backend type. This simplifies the naming
to simply be 'net0' and 'hostnet0', allowing code to easily determine
the host network name and vlan based off the primary device alias
name 'net0'. This in turn allows removal of alot of QEMU specific
code from the XML parser, and makes it easier to assign new unique
names for NICs that are hotplugged
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Remove hostnet_name
and vlan fields from virNetworkDefPtr
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c:
Use a single network alias naming scheme regardless of NIC type
or backend type. Determine VLANs from the alias name.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-net-eth-names.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-net-virtio-device.args,
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-net-virtio-netdev.args: Update
for new simpler naming scheme
