Add an option to specify the host IP to send multicast packets from,
when using a multicast socket for networking. The option takes an IP
address and sets the IP_MULTICAST_IF socket option, which causes the
packets to use that IP's interface as an egress.
This is useful if the host machine has several interfaces with several
virtual networks across disparate interfaces.

error_report() terminates the message with a newline. Strip it it
from its arguments.
This fixes a few error messages lacking a newline:
net_handle_fd_param()'s "No file descriptor named %s found", and
tap_open()'s "vnet_hdr=1 requested, but no kernel support for
IFF_VNET_HDR available" (all three versions).
There's one place that passes arguments without newlines
intentionally: load_vmstate(). Fix it up.
net_check_clients() prints this when an VLAN has host devices, but no
guest devices. It uses VLANState members nb_guest_devs and
nb_host_devs to keep track of these devices. However, -device does
not update nb_guest_devs, only net_init_nic() does that, for -net nic.
Check the VLAN clients directly, and remove the counters.

We're leaking file descriptors to child processes. Set FD_CLOEXEC on file
descriptors that don't need to be passed to children to stop this misbehaviour.
