Pretty straight forward, it's just a list of the usual netlink length-type-data structure. Signed-off-by: Christoph Heiss <[email protected]>
This ensures that each detected link gets cached under their primary interface name as well as each respective altname. This makes lookups for either name transparent, making code using the cache easier to reason about. Signed-off-by: Christoph Heiss <[email protected]>

This enables transparent look-up of interfaces, enabling users of `ifaceobjdict` and `ifaceobjcurrdict` to look up interface by either name. Signed-off-by: Christoph Heiss <[email protected]>

First adds support for decoding
IFLA_PROP_LISTattributes in nlpacket viaAttributeLinkPropList.Then adds transparent handling to nlcache/ifupdownmain by caching the link reference for the primary ifname as well as for each altname of the respective interface.
nlmanager by extension itself already handles altnames well, as using
IFLA_IFNAMEin netlink requests already considers interface altnames.Finally, go through property on each addon which can take interface name(s) and add the appropriate translation there too.
