This commit introduces a new --vmnet-network-uuid command-line option to allow setting the vmnet_network_identifier_key for vmnet.

This property is only applicable to a vmnet_interface in VMNET_HOST_MODE.

If this property is set, the vmnet_interface is added to an isolated network with the specified identifier.

No DHCP service is provided on this network.

This is useful for certain applications where the users need an isolated network and are running their own dhcp to assign IPs in such network.

See issue #139

`socket_vmnet` was forked from [`vde_vmnet`](https://github.com/lima-vm/vde_vmnet) v0.6.0.
Unlike `vde_vmnet`, `socket_vmnet` does not depend on VDE.
