Update device hooks

Summary

RHEV 3.2 introduces a verb called updateDevice which enable connecting a VM to a network on the fly. Update NIC flows in vdsm do not have hooks today. It can be a problem when using the other flows to connect a VM to the network but not being able to update the nic after updating it in the engine.
