Description of problem:
virt-manager GUI now only shows last three bits for guest mac address, it's not convenient for users when do operations.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-1.4.0-2.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare 2 virtual networks and 1 health guest on host.
# virsh net-list --all
 Name                 State      Autostart     Persistent
----------------------------------------------------------
 default              active     yes           yes
 test2                 active     yes           yes

# virsh list
 Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------
 29    rhel7.3                        running


2. Launch virt-manager:
# virt-manager

3. Hotplug 2 nics to guest with same last 3 bits mac address
   Launch virt-manager---> Click the Hardware details button--->Click Add Hardware button--->
   Select Network in Hardware type droplist and click Forward--->Select Vitual network 'default':NAT
   set fixed MAC(52:54:00:bb:3b:86)--->Finish.
   Rerun
   >Select Vitual network 'test2':NAT to eno1.0
   set fixed MAC(52:55:00:bb:3b:86)--->Finish.        

Actual results:
After step3, the new added 2 NIC shows the same from virt-manager GUI, it's not convenient for users when do operations.

Expected results:
virt-manager GUI should show guest mac address fully

Hi, I'm no in favor to printing the whole MAC address.  The MAC address is in most cases automatically generated and the generated vendor part is always "52:54:00".  In 99% use-cases it would be useless to print the whole MAC address.
