d3aa28925f Add a check attribute on the mac address element
This is only used in the ESX driver where, when set to "no", it will
ignore all the checks libvirt does about the origin of the MAC address
(whether or not it's in a VMWare OUI) and forward the original one to
the ESX server telling it not to check it either.

This allows keeping a deterministic MAC address which can be useful for
licensed software which might dislike changes.

6d3cb071b4 vmx: fix logic handling mac address type
With the current formatter, the XML snippets:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='00:0c:29:dd:ee:fe' type='static'/>
      <source bridge='br1'/>
    </interface>
    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:fd' type='generated'/>
      <source bridge='br2'/>
    </interface>

result in

 ethernet1.present = "true"
 ethernet1.networkName = "br1"
 ethernet1.connectionType = "bridged"
 ethernet1.addressType = "static"
 ethernet1.address = "00:0c:29:dd:ee:fe"
 ethernet1.checkMACAddress = "false"

 ethernet2.present = "true"
 ethernet2.networkName = "br2"
 ethernet2.connectionType = "bridged"
 ethernet2.addressType = "static"
 ethernet2.address = "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:fd"
 ethernet2.checkMACAddress = "false"

which is flawed, as both type='static' and type='generated' in the XML
turn into 'static' in the VMX config.

The existence of the 'static' attribute is further overriding whether
the checkMACAddress config option is set as a side effect.

Both these pieces of flawed logic were introduced in

    Add a type attribute on the mac address element

which intentionally added the 'checkMACAddress' side effect based on
the 'type' attribute.

With this change, we're reverting the handling of checkMACAddress
to match what existed historically. The 'type' attribute now directly
maps to the addressType attribute, so the above config becomes:

 ethernet1.present = "true"
 ethernet1.networkName = "br1"
 ethernet1.connectionType = "bridged"
 ethernet1.addressType = "static"
 ethernet1.address = "00:0c:29:dd:ee:fe"

 ethernet2.present = "true"
 ethernet2.networkName = "br2"
 ethernet2.connectionType = "bridged"
 ethernet2.addressType = "generated"
 ethernet2.generatedAddress = "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:fd"
 ethernet2.generatedAddressOffset = "0"
