[PATCHv2] virNetDevVethCreate: assign container if name based on parent if name

[Oskari Saarenmaa <os@xxxxxxx>]

Replace the loop trying to find a free veth interface name for the container
by assigning the container if name to parent name + 'p' by default.
Interface name selection logic is susceptible to race conditions, so try to
select just one name by default and use that as a template for the second
name.  The parent name can also be overriden in domain configuration.

v2: generate first name as before (if it wasn't given by the caller), and
use the parent if name as a template for the container if name so that the
caller doesn't have to select two names (which is not possible at the
moment.)
