[patch iproute2-next v5 1/3] lib/ll_map: cache alternative names

[Jiri Pirko]

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com>

Alternative names are related to the "parent name". That means,
whenever ll_remember_index() is called to add/delete/update and it founds
the "parent name" im object by ifindex, processes related
alternative name im objects too. Put them in a list which holds the
relationship with the parent.

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com>

Extend ll_name_to_index() to get the index of a netdevice using
alternative interface name. Allow alternative long names to pass checks
in couple of ip link/addr commands.

something is still not right with this change:

$ ip li add veth1 type veth peer name veth2
$ ip li prop add dev veth1 altname veth1_by_another_name

$ ip li sh dev veth1

    altname veth1_by_another_name

$ ip li sh dev veth1_by_another_name
Device "veth1_by_another_name" does not exist.

$ ip li set dev veth1_by_another_name up
Error: argument "veth1_by_another_name" is wrong: "dev" not a valid ifname

Odd. This works for me fine:
bash-5.0# ip li prop add dev veth1 altname veth1_by_another_name
bash-5.0# ip li sh dev veth1
4: veth1: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 82:ce:19:28:bb:f5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname veth1_by_another_name
bash-5.0# ip li sh dev veth1_by_another_name
4: veth1: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 82:ce:19:28:bb:f5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname veth1_by_another_name
bash-5.0# ip li set dev veth1_by_another_name up

Applied all 3 to iproute2-next.
