Laine Stump 4f595ba61c network: permit upstream forwarding of unqualified DNS names 
This resolves the issue that prompted the filing of

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=928638

(although the request there is for something much larger and more
general than this patch).

commit f3868259ca disabled the
forwarding to upstream DNS servers of unresolved DNS requests for
names that had no domain, but were just simple host names (no "."
character anywhere in the name). While this behavior is frowned upon
by DNS root servers (that's why it was changed in libvirt), it is
convenient in some cases, and since dnsmasq can be configured to allow
it, it must not be strictly forbidden.

This patch restores the old behavior, but since it is usually
undesirable, restoring it requires specification of a new option in
the network config. Adding the attribute "forwardPlainNames='yes'" to
the <dns> elemnt does the trick - when that attribute is added to a
network config, any simple hostnames that can't be resolved by the
network's dnsmasq instance will be forwarded to the DNS servers listed
in the host's /etc/resolv.conf for an attempt at resolution (just as
any FQDN would be forwarded).

When that attribute *isn't* specified, unresolved simple names will
*not* be forwarded to the upstream DNS server - this is the default
behavior.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
