Mark McLoughlin dec6a2be08 lguest: Support assigning a MAC address
If you've got a nice DHCP configuration which maps MAC
addresses to specific IP addresses, then you're going to
want to start your guest with one of those MAC addresses.

Also, in Fedora, we have persistent network interface naming
based on the MAC address, so with randomly assigned
addresses you're soon going to hit eth13. Who knows what
will happen then!

Allow assigning a MAC address to the network interface with
e.g.

  --tunnet=bridge:eth0:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D

or:

  --tunnet=192.168.121.1:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D

which is pretty unintelligable, but ...

(includes Rusty's minor rework)
