Upgrade/compatibility impact

Because of QEMU Session enabled by defailt, a failure occurs with if Vagrantfile contains: ` test_vm.vm.network :private_network, :ip => "172.16.0.2" ` or similar. Can be solved by setting libvirt.qemu_use_session = false in Vagrantfile.

How To Test

* No special hardware is needed.
* Install Vagrant
* Run `vagrant version`
* Use your Vagrantfiles or create new as before
* If something doesn't work as it should, let us know.
