Title:
  nova creates an invalid ethernet/bridge interface definition in virsh
  xml

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) newton series:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Description
  ===========

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/designer.py#L61
  sets the script path of an ethernet interface to ""

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/config.py#L1228
  checks script for None. As it is not none but a string it adds an empty 
  script path to the ethernet interface definition in the virsh xml

  Steps to reproduce
  ==================

  nova generated virsh:

  [root@overcloud-novacompute-0 heat-admin]# cat 2.xml |grep tap -A5 -B3
      <interface type='ethernet'>
        <mac address='02:b9:38:d2:ef:bf'/>
        <script path=''/>
        <target dev='tapb938d2ef-bf'/>
        <model type='virtio'/>
        <driver name='qemu'/>
        <alias name='net0'/>
        <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
      </interface>

  XML validation:

  [root@overcloud-novacompute-0 heat-admin]# virt-xml-validate 2.xml
  Relax-NG validity error : Extra element devices in interleave
  2.xml:59: element devices: Relax-NG validity error : Element domain failed to validate content
  2.xml fails to validate

  removing the <script path=''/> element the xml validation succeeds:

  [root@overcloud-novacompute-0 heat-admin]# cat 1.xml |grep tap -A5 -B2
      <interface type='ethernet'>
        <mac address='02:b9:38:d2:ef:bf'/>
        <target dev='tapb938d2ef-bf'/>
        <model type='virtio'/>
        <driver name='qemu'/>
        <alias name='net0'/>
        <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
      </interface>
  [root@overcloud-novacompute-0 heat-admin]# virt-xml-validate 1.xml
  1.xml validates

  Point is that libvirt <2.0.0 is more tolerant. libvirt 2.0.0 throws a segfault:
   
  Dec  9 13:30:32 comp1 kernel: libvirtd[1048]: segfault at 8 ip 00007fc9ff09e1c3 sp 00007fc9edfef1d0 error 4 in libvirt.so.0.2000.0[7fc9fef4b000+352000]
  Dec  9 13:30:32 comp1 journal: End of file while reading data: Input/output error
  Dec  9 13:30:32 comp1 systemd: libvirtd.service: main process exited, code=killed, status=11/SEGV
  Dec  9 13:30:32 comp1 systemd: Unit libvirtd.service entered failed state.
  Dec  9 13:30:32 comp1 systemd: libvirtd.service failed.
  Dec  9 13:30:32 comp1 systemd: libvirtd.service holdoff time over, scheduling restart.
  Dec  9 13:30:32 comp1 systemd: Starting Virtualization daemon...
  Dec  9 13:30:32 comp1 systemd: Started Virtualization daemon. 

  Expected result
  ===============
  VM can be started
  instead of checking for None, config.py should check for an empty string before
  adding script path

  
  Actual result
  =============
  VM doesn't start

  Environment
  ===========
  OSP10/Newton, libvirt 2.0.0
