util: new internal function to permit silent failure of virNetDevSetMAC()

We will want to allow silent failure of virNetDevSetMAC() in the case
that the SIOSIFHWADDR ioctl fails with errno == EADDRNOTAVAIL. (Yes,
that is very specific, but we really *do* want a logged failure in all
other circumstances, and don't want to duplicate code in the caller
for the other possibilities).

This patch renames the 3 different virNetDevSetMAC() functions to
virNetDevSetMACInternal(), adding a 3rd arg called "quiet" and making
them static (because this extra control will only be needed within
virnetdev.c). A new global virNetDevSetMAC() is defined that calls
whichever of the three *Internal() functions gets compiled with quiet
= false. Callers in virnetdev.c that want to notice a failure with
errno == EADDRNOTAVAIL and retry with a different strategy rather than
immediately failing, can call virNetDevSetMACInternal(..., true).
