When we parse <mac address="00:00:00:00:00:00"/> we keep that in memory
and pass it down to the hypervisor.  However, that MAC address is not
strictly valid as it is not marked as locally administered (bit 0x02)
but it is not even globally unique.  It is also used for loopback device
on Linux, for example.  And QEMU sees such MAC address just as "not
specified" and generates a new one that libvirt does not even know
about.  So to make the overall experience better we now generate it if
the supplied one is all clear.

Please consider s/  / /g


OK, I'll do it for you this time ;)  But don't expect me to unlearn this
old monospace habit any time soon.

OK, done and pushed, thanks.
