The Linux implementation of virNetDevCreate() no longer requires a
template ifname (e.g. "vnet%d") when it is called, but just generates
a new name if ifname is empty. The FreeBSD implementation requires
that the caller actually fill in a template ifname, and will fail if
ifname is empty. Since we want to eliminate all the special code in
callers that is setting the template name, we need to make the
behavior of the FreeBSD virNetDevCreate() match the behavior of the
Linux virNetDevCreate().
The simplest way to do this is to use the new virNetDevGenerateName()
function - if ifname is empty it generates a new name with the proper
prefix, and if it's not empty, it leaves it alone.
