Just as each physical device used by a network has a connections
counter, now each network has a connections counter which is
incremented once for each guest interface that connects using this
network.
The count is output in the live network XML, like this:
<network connections='20'>
...
</network>
It is read-only, and for informational purposes only - it isn't used
internally anywhere by libvirt.

Changes from v2:
Eric pointed out that even though connections isn't configurable, it
should still be documented, and might show up in someone's XML that
they input to the API. So in this revision, I added connections to the
rng for both <network> and to the <forward> element's <interface>
subelement, and also added a short bit describing it in the
appropriate places in formatnetwork.html.
