Example:
<network>
...
<mtu size='9000'/>
...
If mtu is unset, it's assumed that we want the default for whatever is
the underlying transport (usually this is 1500).
This setting isn't yet wired in, so it will have no effect.
This partially resolves:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1224348
---
Change from V1:
* switch from <bridge .... mtu='9000'/> to <mtu size='9000'/>
for
consistency and to allow for potentially setting an MTU on a network
that doesn't have a <bridge> element.
* use Michal's mtu element definition from networkcommon.rng rather
than rolling my own.
