Kristof Provost ec21434933 Renaming libifc to libifconfig in response to feedback on initial commit of
this library. Sticking to 'libifconfig' (and 'ifconfig_' as function prefix)
should reduce chances of namespace collisions, make it more clear what the
library does, and be more in line with existing libraries.

Kristof Provost d14b24ef84 Add libifc, a library implementing core functionality that exists in ifconfig(8) today.
libifc (pronounced lib-ifconfig) aims to be a light abstraction layer between
programs and the kernel APIs for managing the network configuration.
This should hopefully make programs easier to maintain, and reduce code
duplication.

Work will begin on making ifconfig(8) use this library in the near future.

This code is still evolving. The interface should not be considered stable until
it is announced as such.
