pkg: types: Add a new field type

The Interface structure needs a new field 'type' so that we can properly determine the type of interface being described. This will be helpful for network hotplug, as it will be used to create the appropriate connection between the VM and the interface. Depends-on: github.com/#858 Fixes #401 Signed-off-by: Sebastien Boeuf <[email protected]>
