These commands show the information about active backend network devices.

Changes from v2
---------------
- Got rid of vlans, a separate command for them will be created if needed
- Removed socket as a type (it is used to connect vlans)
- 'script', 'downscript' and 'vhostfd' are now optional when type is 'tap'
- Reworded the explanation of 'peer'

+Each json-object contains the following:

+- "type": device type (json-string)
+    - Possible values: "tap", "user", "vde"
+- "peer": ID of the frontend guest device, if not available means that this
+  netdev is not connected to a guest device yet (json-string, optional)
