[PATCH v2 1/2] virnetdev: Make virNetDevGenerateName() return 1 if no name was generated

A caller might be interested in the case when @ifname was already
set and it wasn't a template. In such case the
virNetDevGenerateName() does not touch the @ifname at all and
returns 0 to indicate success. Make it return 1 to distinguish
this case from the other case, in which a new name was generated.
