[libvirt] [PATCH] network: prevent a few invalid configuration combinations

This resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=767057

It was possible to define a network with <forward mode='bridge'> that
had both a bridge device and a forward device defined. These two are
mutually exclusive by definition (if you are using a bridge device,
then this is a host bridge, and if you have a forward dev defined,
this is using macvtap). It was also possible to put <ip>, <dns>, and
<domain> elements in this definition, although those aren't supported
by the current driver (although it's conceivable that some other
driver might support that).

The items that are invalid by definition, are now checked in the XML
parser (since they will definitely *always* be wrong), and the others
are checked in networkValidate() in the network driver (since, as
mentioned, it's possible that some other network driver, or even this
one, could some day support setting those).
