[SUGGESTION] Network configuration improvement (tap interface)

[giaur500]

Describe the Suggestion

Network configuration generated by autopilot is currently very limited. Guest network access works fine, but limitations are:

• not possible to connect to guest from host
• network access is limited (for example, ping command does not work)

To resolve that, we need to setup tap interface on host and use network configuration like this:
-netdev tap,id=net0,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0,id=net0,mac="$MAC_ADDRESS"

tap0 is tap virtual network on host, it can be configured by hand, or automatically by virt-manager. That may be not not easy to setup (unless virt manager do that automatically), but my suggestion is to try to add it to autopilot, with 2 options - either choose existing tap intrface (if exists), or configure new tap network from scratch.

(Or maybe it's already there and I just miseed it, correct me in this case).
