xl/libxl: add gatewaydev/netdev to vif specification
This option is used by the vif-route hotplug script. A new more
descriptive name is used, "gatewaydev", but "netdev" is also supported
as a deprecated backwards compatible option.
This option was supported in the past, according to
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Vif-route, so we should also support it in
libxl.
