After parsing a video device with a model type of VIR_DOMAIN_VIDEO_TYPE_NONE, all device info is cleared (see virDomainDefPostParseVideo()) in order to avoid formatting any auto-generated values for the XML. Subsequently, however, an alias is generated for the video device (e.g. 'video0'), which results in an alias property being formatted in the XML output anyway. This creates confusion if the user has explicitly provided an alias for the video device since the alias will change. To avoid this, don't clear the user-defined alias for video devices of type "none".
