VM template: ability to set network to none

[tjb_altf4]

Much like we can in docker, it would be super helpful if we could set network to none in VMs.

My use case is I will be passing though physical NICs, and although I can edit the XML to remove the interface, I'd rather not have the risk of virtual NICs recreated anytime modify the template (and subsequently forget to remove from XML again).

There is also a different use case where a user may want their VM to have no LAN or WAN access at all.

If you remove the mac it will not add a nic are you looking for this option in addition to that?

I didn't know that, thanks!
I feel a discrete option would be more user friendly and ultimately more informative, but removing the mac address will do the job for me
