Sebastien Boeuf e37f63282c net_util: Only set host MAC address from user input ...

In case the host MAC address associated with a TAP device wasn't
explicitly provided by the user, Cloud Hypervisor would get the host MAC
associated by default with this TAP device and store it through the
network config. Problem is, in the context of a snapshot/restore, that
meant the network config provided by the user was different on the
destination host compared to the source host. This was causing an issue
when Cloud Hypervisor wasn't started with CAP_NET_ADMIN permissions as
it couldn't set the host MAC address on the destination, while the
source never needed these permissions since the MAC was automatically
allocated by the kernel.

We're fixing this issue by setting the host MAC address when it's
explicitly requested by the user through the network config, and making
the host MAC immutable so that it can't be changed at runtime.
