It can be useful to disable all network devices, for example, to remove the
compat warning for the default network device when the guest does not
initialize it. This can be done by passing mode=none to the --network
command line option, but without in-depth knowledge of the code, there is
no way for the user to know this. Update the help message for -n/--network
to explain what mode=none does.
