netdev_add
----------

Add host network device.

Arguments:

- "type": the device type, "tap", "user", ... (json-string)
- "id": the device's ID, must be unique (json-string)
- device options

Example:

-> { "execute": "netdev_add", "arguments": { "type": "user", "id": "netdev1" } }

Note: The supported device options are the same ones supported by the '-net'
      command-line argument, which are listed in the '-help' output or QEMU's
      manual
