[libvirt PATCH] Add <title> and <description> for Network Objects

This patch adds new elements <title> and <description> to the Network XML. - The <title> attribute holds a short title defined by the user and cannot contain newlines. - The <description> attribute holds any documentation that the user wants to store. - Schema definitions of <title> and <metadata> have been moved from domaincommon.rng to basictypes.rng for use by network and future objects. Get/Set Public APIs for modifying these elements as well as <metadata> will be added in a subsequent patch.
