Eelco Dolstra b3dbcbe249 * Use vde_switch instead of QEMU's multicast feature to tie QEMU VMs
together into virtual networks.  This has several advantages:

  - It's more secure because the QEMU instances use Unix domain
    sockets to talk to the switch.

  - It doesn't depend on the host's network interfaces.  (Local
    multicast fails if there is no default gateway, so for instance it
    fails if a laptop is not connected to any network.)

  - VDE devices can be connected together to form arbitrary network
    topologies.

  - VDE has a "wirefilter" tool to emulate delays and packet loss,
    which are useful for network testing.
