[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] qemu: range check numa memory placement mode

Add a range check for supported numa memory placement modes provided by
the user before setting them in the domain definition. Without the check
the user is able to provide a (yet) unknown mode which is then stored in
the domain definition. This potentially causes a NULL dereference when
the defintion is formatted into the XML.

To reproduce run:
 virsh numatune DOMNAME --mode 6 --nodeset 0

The XML will then contain:
  <numatune>
      <memory mode='(null)' nodeset='0'/>
  </numatune>

With this fix, the command fails:
 error: Unable to change numa parameters
 error: invalid argument: unsupported numa_mode: '6'
