Currently there is no practical difference between this and using the
old virNetworkDefinXML API, it just allows using the new API to make
sure it's working.
Soon there will be a flag defined for the new function (to request
changes in re-definitions of existing+active networks take effect
immediately), and virsh will add support for that flag.
