I don't think this patch is valid because libvirt support any name as a 
network name (and VM name, storage pool name...). If we're actually not 
putting extra restrictions, let the user type anything for the network 
name that's also valid in libvirt (i.e. spaces, special characters).

You can even have Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters in network names:

$ sudo virsh net-list
Name State Autostart Persistent
