Cole Robinson c92c454fde virtManager: Drop interface list for bridge and macvtap 
Some related bits were discussed here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2019-June/msg00117.html

macvtap is problematic for inexperienced users so we shouldn't
be broadly advertising it, plus our device listing was incomplete
anyways.

Both bridge and macvtap device listing are largely dependent on
the libvirt virInterface APIs, which have varying degrees of
completeness across distros and are not particularly reliable to
begin with.

Drop both of these in favor of the available support for manually
specifying a device name

Virtual Machine Manager

virt-manager is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt. Most usage is with QEMU/KVM virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.

Several command line tools are also provided:

  • virt-install: Create new libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML

For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file. If you just want to quickly test the code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:

./virt-manager --debug ...
