now we have support network

Now we need to support the attach/detach/

And get the info of Network attached to a guest.
libvirt supports several types of network interfaces:
'bridge','network','user','ethernet','direct','hostdev','mcast',
'server', 'client'
but there is not a unique "name" attribute for "interface"
element.(more
libvirt network interfaces info)
That is not good to define our REST API.
But for "network" type resource, there is a "network"
attribute of "source" resource.
And the value of "network" attribute is the name of network
that we defined by /networks POST method.
the "network" type + "network" attribute is unique.
We can define the Network Interfaces like this to support
"network" type Interfaces:
GET /vms/*name*/Interfaces?type=network&network="default"
But this is not RESTFUL.
Maybe We can also name a Network Interface by the Interface
mac.
The mac is unique.
GET /vms/*name*/Interfaces/mac
I think using the mac address is enough for us.
I'd also suggest to use 'ifaces' instead of 'Interfaces'
# list the iface info
GET /vms/<name>/ifaces/<mac>
# attach new iface
POST /vms/<name>/ifaces/<mac> {network:
<network-id>}
POST /vms/<name>/ifaces/ {network: <network-id>} ?
