You'll need to update virCapabilitiesDispose to free this string
too.

It will result in a ripple effect across the drivers, but rather than
storing 'netprefix' in virDomainDef, I think we should probably change
virDomainDefFormat to pass in the virCapsPtr object, so we can directly
access the canonical source for this data.

It is probably best to add virCapsPtr to virDomainDefFormat as a separate
patch to this one to keep it clean

Daniel
