[libvirt] [PATCH v2 2/2] lxc: don't forbid <interface type='direct'>

[Laine Stump]

Commit 017dfa27d changed a few switch statements in the LXC code to
have all possible enum values, and in the process changed the switch
statement in virLXCControllerGetNICIndexes() to return an error status
for unsupported interface types, but it erroneously put type='direct'
on the list of unsupported types.

type='direct' (implemented with a macvlan interface) is supported on
LXC, but it's interface shouldn't be placed on the list of interfaces
given to CreateMachineWithNetwork() because the interface is put
inside the container, while CreateMachineWithNetwork() only wants to
know about the parent veths of veth pairs (the parent veth remains on
the host side, while the child veth is put into the container).

Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1656463
