When we try to migrate vm, we check if it contains only devices

migrate we raise an error with <hostdev/>, but it can actually be
<interface/>, so we need to check if hostdev device was created
by us from interface and show the right error message.

Small nit, I wonder whether we should report actual type here. Looking
into virDomainNetDefFormat() it looks like for a running VM we do report
actual type (unless inactive or migratable XML was requested). Thus I
think the error message should follow that logic. Otherwise we might
report "cannot migrate a domain with interface type=network" while in
fact in 'virsh dumpxml' there is just interface type='hostdev' (the
type='network' is in inactive XML).
Laine, what's your opinion?
Well.... neither is ideal :-/. If the log message says "interface
type='network'" then that could mislead the user into thinking that no
type='network' interfaces would be supported. But if the log message
says "interface type='hostdev'" then the user will look in their XML,
not find any type='hostdev', and then be confused about what the message
is referencing.
Ideally the error message should make it simple to find the exact
element causing the problem while also being precise in explaining what
is problematic. Since neither of the choices here satisfy both, we just
have to pick the 'least bad' option. I do think in this case that the
least bad option is to display tha actualtype as you suggest (which,
BTW, in this case will always be "hostdev").
