[RFC 1/1] virxml: Accept 'default' for virTristate* properties

The _ABSENT value of each enumeration has 'default' as string
representation, and when that's been formatted to XML we should
parse it back successfully, so we can't just treat encountering
it as an error.

Callers of virXMLPropTristate*() can of course still pass
VIR_XML_PROP_NONZERO explicitly to the helpers if the current
behavior is the one they want.

After this change, libvirtd no longer logs

  error : virXMLPropEnumInternal:516 : XML error: Invalid value
  for attribute 'value' in element 'allowReboot': 'default'.

when it gets restarted while there are running guests.
