This attribute is going to represent number of queues for
multique vhost network interface. This commit implements XML
extension part of the feature and add one test as well. For now,
we can only do xml2xml test as qemu command line generation code
is not adapted yet.

+ The optional <code>queues</code> attribute controls the number of
+ queues to be used for the<a href="http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Multiqueue">
+ Multiqueue virtio-net</a> feature. If the interface has <code><model

+ created; each queue will potentially be handled by a different
+ processor, resulting in much higher throughput.
