vmnet.framework support for unmodified rootless QEMU (no dependency on VDE)
We have 7 qemu VMs running, having 3 virtual ethernet interface each. socket_vmnet works most of the times but randomly stops working and the communication between the VMs is stopped....
Removing redundant `brew tap homebrew/services`. According to [the docs](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-services?tab=readme-ov-file#install) and my own experience, it works automatically without this command.

I'm using --vmnet-mode=bridged, and my debian bookworm guest is able to get an IP that's in the same subnet as the macos(11.7.8) host. While it "works", I see that my...
`Virtualization.framework` provides built-in support for `vmnet.framework` (without root, for the NAT (shared) mode).
