docs: Introduce xenstore paths for guest network address information

It is useful for a toolstack to be able to see the network addresses
in use by a domain for a particular vif in xenstore for display
purposes and, for example, so that a VNC session can be established
to the guest GUI.

This patch documents paths to allow a domain to advertise an interface
name, MAC (unicast and multicast) and IP (version 4 and 6) address
information.
