[libvirt] PATCH: Don't set ifname or script args for QEMU tap devices

When running QEMU with a type=bridge or type=network  interface config,
we pass a pre-created  TAP device file descriptor, eg

  -net tap,fd=17,script=,vlan=0,ifname=vnet0

The ifname and script args have always been ignored by all QEMU versions
we support. Latest QEMU will now error out if they are set. So this
patch drops those two redundant options.  NB, then are still set for
type=ethernet inteface configs, because in that config we're not creating
a TAP device.

  -net tap,fd=17,vlan=0 

There is no impact on test cases, because live TAP devices is something
that you can exercise in the test cases.
